Communities would get more guaranteed help to prepare for disasters and protect important buildings.
This bill would make sure communities get more guaranteed help to prepare for natural disasters. It would require the President to provide assistance for projects that prevent damage before a disaster hits. This means states, local governments, and especially Indian Tribes would receive more federal support to protect homes, schools, and hospitals.
Today, the President can choose whether or not to provide assistance for projects that help communities prepare for disasters. This bill would require the President to provide this help and set aside funds for public infrastructure that are not less than 3% and not more than a certain percentage of certain grants. It would also guarantee that the federal government pays at least 90% of the cost for small projects under $1,000,000, and explicitly include Indian Tribes as eligible for this support.
