Plain-English Summary

The proposal would streamline how federal agencies respond to and recover from disasters by improving coordination between different government departments and reducing bureaucratic delays in getting aid to affected communities. It would help disaster victims, businesses, and local governments receive emergency assistance and rebuilding support more quickly after hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and other major emergencies. The changes would affect FEMA, state emergency management agencies, and anyone who needs disaster relief.
