Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act

Bill 117 HR 539, also known as the Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to provide additional support and protection for individuals who have been affected by natural disasters.

Overall, the Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act aims to better protect and support individuals who have been affected by natural disasters, and to prevent them from experiencing further harm in the future.
