To appropriate funds for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Disaster Relief Fund, and for other purposes.
HR 8368 proposes to appropriate $26.367 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund for fiscal year 2026. These funds are intended to cover necessary expenses for FEMA to carry out the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. This means the money would be used to help communities and individuals respond to and recover from major disasters officially declared under the Stafford Act. The bill also designates these funds as an emergency requirement, which exempts them from certain budgetary rules.
