Mudslide Recovery Act

HR 1356, the Mudslide Recovery Act, creates a federal grant program to help communities repair damage from mudslides that occur after wildland fires. The program provides competitive grants to eligible recipients - including states, tribes, local governments, fire departments, and community non-profits in fire-risk areas - to fund innovative repair solutions. It authorizes $5 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2032 for the Secretaries of the Interior and Homeland Security (via FEMA) to administer the program. This bill directly affects communities impacted by post-wildfire mudslides by providing targeted funding for recovery efforts.
