Better Data for Puerto Rico Recovery: Ensuring Effective Disaster Aid Allocation.
This Act mandates a detailed study to identify critical data gaps used by federal agencies when distributing recovery grants to Puerto Rico following major disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. The goal is to ensure that financial aid is allocated and managed more quickly and fairly, which directly translates to faster repair of infrastructure and services for residents. Better data means more efficient use of taxpayer money for critical projects.
