Mudslide Recovery Act

Bill 119 hr 1356, also known as the Mudslide Prevention and Recovery Act, aims to address the issue of mudslides that occur after wildland fires. The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Homeland Security, through the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to establish a pilot grant program.

This program will provide funding to communities affected by mudslides following wildland fires, in order to help them prevent and recover from the damage caused. The grants will be used for activities such as mitigation efforts, emergency response, and long-term recovery planning.

The goal of the bill is to improve the resilience of communities in high-risk areas, and to reduce the impact of mudslides on both property and human lives. By providing funding for prevention and recovery efforts, the bill aims to better prepare communities for the aftermath of wildland fires and mitigate the damage caused by mudslides. Overall, the Mudslide Prevention and Recovery Act seeks to address a specific and pressing issue facing communities in the United States, and to provide support and resources to help them better prepare for and respond to mudslides following wildland fires.
