Key Points
- Lets states, tribes, and territories keep and reuse leftover disaster grant “management” money instead of losing it when a project closes.
- The leftover money could be used to build staffing and systems to prepare for, respond to, and recover from future disasters, or to cover management costs on other disaster work.
- The leftover funds could support work tied to major disasters, emergencies, preparedness steps, and hazard-mitigation projects.
- Any reused leftover management funds would stay available for up to 5 years after they are made available.
- Requires the Government Accountability Office to report within 180 days on real disaster management costs and whether the set-aside amounts are appropriate. No new money is added.
