Plain-English Summary
The bill would set aside federal disaster relief money specifically for rural communities to help them prepare for and recover from floods, distributing the funds through a formula-based grant program rather than requiring communities to compete for limited resources. This would give smaller, less-resourced rural areas a dedicated source of funding to build flood defenses and resilience measures. The program would be managed through FEMA's existing disaster relief infrastructure.
