To amend section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to establish within the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program a dedicated rural flood resilience supplemental allocation providing formula-based pass-through grants to rural communities through a set-aside from the Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Relief Fund, and for other purposes.

This bill would change an existing disaster relief law to create a specific funding stream within the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program that is set aside for rural communities to help them prepare for and handle flooding. The money would come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Disaster Relief Fund and would be distributed to rural communities using a formula-based grant system. No official summary is available for this bill.
