Summary

National Response Framework Improvement Act of 2020 This bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to evaluate the National Response Framework of the Department of Homeland Security based on lessons learned from the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic and take specified steps regarding information sharing, training, and briefing Congress.
