HR 2956 United States House · 119th Congress

DISASTER Act of 2025

This bill requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to annually report all federal disaster spending to Congress, covering response, recovery, and mitigation efforts across all relevant agencies. The report must detail total spending, break it down by agency and disaster type, and distinguish between loans and grants, including costs from agencies like FEMA, USDA, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It aims to improve budget transparency and help Congress identify cost-saving opportunities by providing a single, public source of disaster spending data. The first report is due for fiscal year 2027, with data for the prior calendar year. This is a transparency measure, not a change to how disaster aid is delivered.
