This bill, titled the Advancing VA's Emergency Response to (AVERT) Crises Act of 2025, seeks to significantly enhance the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) emergency management capabilities . It mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to submit a comprehensive report within 180 days, outlining the roles and responsibilities of all VA offices involved in emergency management. This report must detail organizational structures, shared duties, and provide recommendations for improving alignment, removing redundancies, and increasing accountability, including an analysis of consolidating relevant offices into a centralized emergency management entity. The Secretary is required to consult with agencies like the Comptroller General and the Department of Homeland Security for insights. Furthermore, the legislation requires a separate report within 180 days on the VA's Regional Readiness Centers , detailing inventory, distribution of materials, operational costs, and their capacity to respond to various emergencies. This report must also include an analysis of inventory changes and the percentage of expired or soon-to-expire items. Finally, within 90 days, the bill mandates a plan, developed in consultation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to address current limitations preventing FEMA from providing fuel or other resources to the VA during emergencies and to improve overall coordination, identifying if Congressional action is necessary to resolve these issues.
