Better Support and Outreach for Local Security and Preparedness Grants.
This law aims to improve how the federal government financially supports state and local agencies responsible for security and disaster preparedness. It requires FEMA to maintain constant contact and collect feedback from local authorities to ensure security funds are distributed and used effectively. This means the money allocated to protect your community will be better managed, enhancing local safety and crisis response capabilities.
Key points
State, local, and tribal authorities will have a greater say in how federal grants for security and crisis response are awarded (Urban Area Security Initiative and State Homeland Security Grant Program).
FEMA must regularly survey and collect feedback from local partners and publicly explain how that feedback shaped future grant programs.
The goal is to increase the effectiveness of public safety spending and readiness for threats in major cities and at the state level.
