S 2779 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience Act

This bill establishes the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience within the Economic Development Administration to coordinate federal economic recovery efforts after major disasters declared under the Stafford Act. It creates a dedicated disaster team for rapid deployment to affected areas and changes the cost-sharing requirement for economic recovery grants to 100% federal funding - eliminating any state or local cost-share. The office will manage disaster appropriations, coordinate with FEMA under the National Disaster Recovery Framework, and oversee post-disaster economic programs. This directly affects communities receiving disaster recovery funds by providing full federal support for economic rebuilding projects.
