This act introduces swift financial aid for individuals and families affected by the 2024 flood, covering basic needs and the repair or reconstruction of damaged homes. It also provides support for employees, volunteer firefighters (OSP), entrepreneurs, and local governments to facilitate recovery after the natural disaster. These funds are protected from enforcement and are income tax-exempt.
