- Disaster Relief Fund — $25 billion added to FEMA for disaster response and recovery
The details
When hurricanes, wildfires, or floods strike, FEMA pays for response and recovery through its Disaster Relief Fund. This bill would add $25 billion to that fund. The money would go to FEMA for fiscal year 2025. It is labeled an emergency requirement, so it does not have to be offset by other spending cuts. The funding supports disaster survivors and communities recovering from major disasters.
