Easier Funding for Flood Protection and Disaster Recovery.

New rules make it easier for local governments and Indian Tribes to start protective work after natural disasters, even before a full agreement with the federal government. This means local communities can react faster to floods and other threats, and their initial costs can count towards their project contribution. This will speed up recovery and protection efforts in affected areas.
Key points

Costs incurred before an agreement can be counted towards the sponsor's project contribution.
The aim is to accelerate protective actions and recovery after floods and other natural disasters.
