Streamlining Disaster Risk Mitigation Loan Fund

This act introduces technical corrections to the hazard mitigation revolving loan fund program, aiming to streamline the financing process for disaster prevention efforts. As a result, states and Indian tribal governments that have experienced major disasters will have clearer rules for accessing funds to strengthen infrastructure and prepare for future threats. Citizens may feel more secure due to better preparation of local communities for natural disasters.
Key points
Simplifying access rules for states and Indian tribal governments to preventive disaster funds.
Clearly defining who can apply for hazard mitigation loans, speeding up aid.
Strengthening local communities' ability to prepare for future natural disasters through improved funding.
