Bill overview
The REAADI for Disasters Act aims to improve disaster preparedness and response for older adults and individuals with disabilities. It establishes programs to support these groups, including grants for disaster response and the creation of a National Commission to address their rights. The bill also requires the government to study how federal agencies comply with disability rights laws during disaster relief and promotes universal design in building and services. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure these vulnerable populations are included and supported throughout all phases of disaster management.
