Earthquake risks don’t care about party lines—this bill tries to make sure neither do we. A measured step forward with room to improve.

Finally, a bill that puts people over profit by prioritizing vulnerable communities and tribal nations. Earthquake safety isn’t just infrastructure; it’s social justice in action.

It’s smart to update our warnings and standards, but let’s keep an eye on how well the funds actually help those at risk.

Science-backed, inclusive, and proactive—this bill is a seismic shift toward protecting the many, not just the wealthy few.

Earthquake preparedness is important, but federal overreach isn’t the answer—let innovation, not regulations, do the heavy lifting.

Retrofits and alerts? Common sense moves. But we'll see if bureaucracy doesn’t shake things up more than the quakes do.
