Homeland Security for Children Act
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans to lead, conduct, and coordinate DHS-wide identification and integration of the needs of children into DHS's policies, programs, and activities, in coordination with relevant outside organizations and experts.
The bill directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to identify and integrate the needs of children into activities to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against the risk of natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters, including by appointing a technical expert to coordinate such integration.
