Summary of Bill HR 1393

Bill 119 HR 1393, also known as the "FEMA Cost-Effectiveness Review Act of 2021," aims to direct the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to conduct a thorough review of the criteria used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of certain mitigation projects. The bill seeks to ensure that FEMA is utilizing the most effective and efficient methods for evaluating the potential benefits of mitigation projects aimed at reducing the impact of natural disasters.

The primary goal of this legislation is to improve the overall effectiveness of FEMA's mitigation efforts by ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely on projects that provide the greatest benefit in terms of reducing the risk and impact of disasters. By conducting a comprehensive review of the current criteria used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of mitigation projects, FEMA will be better equipped to prioritize and fund projects that offer the greatest return on investment in terms of reducing the potential damage and loss caused by natural disasters.

In addition to directing FEMA to conduct a review of its cost-effectiveness criteria, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to improving the agency's mitigation efforts. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary provided, but may include measures to enhance coordination with state and local governments, improve data collection and analysis, and strengthen partnerships with other federal agencies and stakeholders involved in disaster mitigation efforts. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1393 represents a bipartisan effort to enhance the effectiveness of FEMA's mitigation programs and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently to reduce the impact of natural disasters on communities across the United States. By conducting a review of its cost-effectiveness criteria and implementing any necessary improvements, FEMA will be better positioned to prioritize and fund mitigation projects that offer the greatest benefit in terms of reducing the risk and impact of disasters.
