S 3403 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Building Resilience and Stronger Communities Act

This bill increases federal funding for disaster resilience projects. It requires the federal government to cover at least 90% of costs for small hazard prevention projects under $1 million and potentially more than 90% for critical facilities like hospitals, schools, and emergency centers. The bill also makes hazard mitigation planning mandatory for states and local governments (changing "may" to "shall") and ensures Indian Tribes can directly access funds or apply through states for resilience projects. These changes apply to all eligible communities and tribes receiving federal disaster relief under the Stafford Act.
