H.R. 152: Federal Disaster Assistance Coordination Act
Sponsor
Mike Ezell
Republican · MS-4
What H.R. 152 does
H.R. 152 would require FEMA to study and plan how to make the information it collects from disaster aid applicants and grantees less burdensome, duplicative and time consuming, and to plan for regularly collecting and reporting what federal disaster aid has been awarded.
Within two years, FEMA would also have to convene a working group on preliminary damage assessments. It would look at duplication, whether one federal agency could do the assessments for all agencies, and whether technology such as drones could speed them up. FEMA would report the results to Congress and post the report publicly.
