Bill 118 s 3777, also known as the Budgeting for Disasters Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish a more efficient and transparent process for budgeting and funding disaster relief efforts.
The bill aims to address the current challenges faced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies in responding to natural disasters and emergencies. It seeks to improve the coordination and communication between federal, state, and local governments in order to better prepare for and respond to disasters.
One key provision of the Budgeting for Disasters Act is the establishment of a dedicated fund for disaster relief efforts. This fund would be used to provide immediate assistance to communities affected by disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods. The bill also includes measures to ensure that this fund is adequately funded and that resources are allocated efficiently.
Additionally, the bill calls for the development of a comprehensive disaster response plan that outlines the roles and responsibilities of federal, state, and local agencies in responding to disasters. This plan would help to streamline the response process and ensure that resources are deployed effectively.
Overall, the Budgeting for Disasters Act aims to improve the nation's ability to respond to and recover from natural disasters by providing a more structured and coordinated approach to disaster relief efforts. It is currently being reviewed by Congress and may be subject to amendments before being passed into law.
