Sends $15 billion in emergency aid to Texans impacted by severe 2025 flooding.

This bill would set aside an extra $15 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help Texans recover from severe flooding in 2025. This money would add to the Disaster Relief Fund, offering more federal help for rebuilding and recovery.

What Would Change

Today, FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund has its regular budget for the government's budget year 2025 to handle disasters. If this bill passes, FEMA would get an extra $15 billion specifically for major disasters caused by 2025 flooding in Texas, along with new rules for reporting how that money is used.
