Typhoon Mawar Reconstruction Act

HR 6478, the Typhoon Mawar Reconstruction Act, provides full federal funding for repairing critical infrastructure damaged by Typhoon Mawar in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. It directs FEMA to cover 100% of eligible costs for restoring hospitals, power systems, waterways, and communication networks under specific disaster declarations (DR-4715-GU and DR-4716-MP), bypassing standard cost-sharing rules. The bill allows FEMA to use direct federal resources (personnel, equipment, etc.) to assist communities instead of issuing grants. This applies to infrastructure repairs needed to meet safety standards and withstand future disasters.
