Bill overview
This bill, the Disaster Response Flexibility Act of 2025, creates a new program to help states respond to major disasters. It allows states to apply for a block grant instead of seeking direct public assistance from FEMA, streamlining the process. The program requires FEMA to assess the cost of public assistance for each impacted state and then provide a grant amount based on that assessment, ensuring funds are allocated efficiently. States receiving these grants are prohibited from receiving other direct assistance for the same disaster.
