A bill to direct the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to designate New Jersey Task Force 1 as part of the National Urban Search and Rescue Response System.

This bill would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to officially include New Jersey Task Force 1 in the National Urban Search and Rescue Response System. By joining this national network, the task force would become eligible for federal funding, specialized training, and equipment to assist in major disasters. For citizens, this designation ensures that New Jersey’s elite search and rescue team is fully integrated into the federal emergency response framework, enhancing the state's ability to respond to structural collapses, natural disasters, and other large-scale emergencies.
