(FEMA) Act, marking a major step toward long-sought disaster reform.
* County-aligned reforms: The bill, which responds directly to county feedback, would convert FEMA’s Public Assistance Program to a grant-based model, ensure fund disbursement within
120 days of a disaster and establish a universal disaster application.
* Structural changes: The bill proposes <https://public-usa.mkt.dynamics.com/api/orgs/227b4c5a-99e5-4698-be04-ef85d0384bf3/r/B7uplSM6IEiSpnV1oNIDAAgAAAA?msdynmkt_target=%7B%22TargetUrl%22%3A%22https%

The FEMA Act would also require states to identify at least one pre-approved mitigation project in every county.

their regional operations.

persist.
