Natural Disaster Transparency Enhancement Act
HR 5795, the Natural Disaster Transparency Enhancement Act, requires federal agencies managing disaster relief funds to publicly post detailed financial information online. Specifically, agencies must regularly update their websites with a breakdown showing both the total funds approved for each disaster and the amount actually disbursed for that event. This applies to all agencies distributing federal disaster aid, such as FEMA or the Department of Agriculture. The law aims to make federal disaster spending more visible to the public by standardizing and centralizing this financial data.
