Faster and Fairer Disaster Aid for Rural Communities After Wildfires.
This bill aims to speed up and equalize federal disaster assistance for residents in rural areas, particularly those affected by wildfires. It mandates coordination and resource provision to prevent secondary disasters like flooding or mudslides following a fire. Crucially, if an individual aid request is denied, rural residents will receive support from dedicated case workers.
