Faster Disaster Cleanup: New Rules for Local Governments
New rules allow local governments and Indian tribes to start emergency watershed protection work after natural disasters (like floods, fires) sooner, before signing a formal agreement with the federal government. Costs incurred early can count towards their share of the project, but local entities take the financial risk if an agreement is not reached. The goal is to speed up recovery and protection efforts after disasters.
Key points
Local governments and tribes can begin urgent disaster protection work earlier, without waiting for a full federal agreement.
Costs incurred before signing an agreement can be counted towards the local entity's contribution to the project.
Local entities assume the full financial risk for work done before a formal agreement is made with the federal government.
