Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 119 hr 1105, also known as the Individual Household Disaster Mitigation Act, aims to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The main goal of this bill is to require the President to establish a program specifically focused on helping individual households mitigate the impact of disasters.

In addition to creating the individual household disaster mitigation program, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to disaster relief and emergency assistance. These additional measures are intended to enhance the overall effectiveness of disaster response efforts and ensure that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1105 represents a proactive approach to disaster management and aims to prioritize prevention and mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of disasters on individual households.
