What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would take FEMA out of the Department of Homeland Security and make it its own independent agency with a leader who has a seat in the President's cabinet. It changes how FEMA helps communities after disasters, including creating new grants to speed up repairs to damaged buildings, making it easier for individuals to get housing help, and simplifying the application process for disaster aid. The bill also updates programs designed to prepare for future disasters by letting communities get funding faster and combining money from different federal programs for protection projects. Finally, it requires federal agencies to share more information about disaster assistance and study topics like how damage is assessed and how emergency alert systems work.
