Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense would be required to regularly collect and track data on how extreme weather and gradual climate changes affect military bases, including the costs of dealing with these impacts. This would help military leaders understand which installations are most vulnerable to weather-related damage and plan budgets accordingly. The information gathered would give Congress and the public better insight into how climate change is affecting the military's operations and infrastructure.
