Summary

SB 137 would create a Resilience City Council, derived from Executive Order 736, to coordinate agency preparedness and response to natural disasters and position Alabama for proactive emergency management.

Senator Livingston introduced SB 137 as a bill to establish a Resilience City Council based on Executive Order 736. He said the council would help Alabama take a proactive stance on natural disasters by coordinating agencies and positioning the state to respond quickly at disaster sites.

Livingston framed the council as a formalization of an executive‑order initiative and answered no substantive questions during the excerpted presentation. The chair then closed the item and adjourned the committee.

The measure is intended to convert elements of a prior executive order into statute to institutionalize preparedness work across relevant agencies.
