Boosting Community Disaster Resilience: New Aid Rules

This new law aims to better prepare communities for natural disasters like storms, floods, and wildfires. It changes how aid is provided, focusing more on preventive measures and supporting local emergency response teams. This means citizens can expect a more efficient response and better protection from the effects of natural calamities.
Key points
Greater emphasis on disaster preparedness: Federal funds will support preventive actions, not just post-disaster recovery.
Support for local emergency teams: Non-governmental organizations and crisis response teams will receive assistance for training and operations.
New guidelines for state and tribal governments: The federal government will issue detailed instructions on investing in disaster resilience.
