The National Windstorm Impact Reduction Act Reauthorization of 2014 () is a bill that would reauthorize the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program (NWIRP), which was created to improve the understanding of windstorms and their impacts and to develop measures to reduce the damage they cause.〔 The bill also would establish new committees to coordinate the activities of federal agencies participating in the program and to assess developments in efforts to mitigate damage from windstorms.〔 The bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. ==Background== According to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), during the five years of 2008-2012, there were over 7500 tornadoes reported in the United States, as well as 75,000 high wind reports, and 17 different tropical cyclones that hit the United States. A report from the Center for American Progress estimated that the federal government spent $136 billion from 2011 to 2013 on disaster relief and recovery efforts.〔 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that since 1980 there have been 151 weather-related disasters in the United States that each individually exceeded $1 billion in economic losses, altogether costing over $1 trillion. The National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program is run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the NOAA, and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
