Investing in Community Resilience Act of 2025

This bill changes the rules for how much the federal government pays when helping fix buildings and facilities damaged by disasters. Right now, FEMA covers at least 75% of repair costs for government agencies and certain nonprofits, and can increase that share up to 85% if those groups take steps to be better prepared for disasters. This bill adds more types of preparedness activities that would qualify for that higher payment, including investing in preparedness programs, following building standards or land use practices that make communities more resilient, and supporting volunteer emergency response teams that help during disasters. These changes would go into effect one year after the bill becomes law.
