Rebuilding with Resilience Act
This bill amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act to require that federal funds used for repairing or rebuilding after disasters must substantially reduce future risk from similar events. It directly affects states and tribal governments receiving federal disaster assistance under Section 406, mandating that the President collaborate with them to ensure projects make infrastructure less vulnerable to future damage. The key provision adds a new requirement that all funded repairs, restorations, or replacements must increase resilience against future disasters. This changes how disaster recovery funds are spent, focusing on long-term safety rather than just returning buildings to pre-disaster conditions.
