This bill expands the eligible uses for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants to include projects related to severe weather or natural disasters.

In addition, the bill makes AIP grants available to qualifying airports for (1) planning for disaster preparedness associated with maintaining airport operations during a natural disaster; (2) acquiring airport communication equipment and fixed emergency generators; and (3) constructing, expanding, or improving airfield infrastructure that will facilitate an airport's disaster response.
