Flexible Use of Disaster Management Funds

This new act allows states and Indian tribes to use unspent funds allocated for disaster recovery project management for other activities related to preparing for, recovering from, or mitigating the impacts of future disasters. This means taxpayer money will be managed more efficiently, and communities will be better prepared for future threats, potentially leading to faster aid and fewer losses in subsequent disasters.
