Investing in Community Resilience Act of 2024
This bill amends the federal disaster relief law to expand how communities prepare for disasters. It directly affects state and tribal governments by requiring FEMA to issue guidance within one year on using funds to support local community emergency response teams and non-governmental organizations that provide disaster assistance. Key provisions include adding funding for mutual aid agreements between teams, training programs, and outreach to strengthen local resilience against storms, wildfires, and other disasters. The changes become effective 180 days after the bill is signed into law.
