HR 10486 United States House · 119th Congress

Relief Without Delay Act

The Relief Without Delay Act ensures that FEMA can continue disaster relief operations and access its Disaster Relief Fund even if the government shuts down due to a lapse in appropriations. It requires FEMA to submit monthly public reports detailing how disaster funds are obligated and spent, while also mandating the Department of Housing and Urban Development to assess unmet housing needs after major disasters. Additionally, the bill directs NOAA and FEMA to improve tornado detection capabilities using new technologies like artificial intelligence and establishes a grant program for communities to build storm shelters and upgrade warning systems.
