Bill overview
The REAADI for Disasters Act aims to improve disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts for individuals with disabilities and older adults (age 50+). It establishes advisory committees, allows states to contract with Centers for Independent Living, and requires the Department of Health and Human Services to award grants for projects that directly benefit these communities. The bill also modifies the National Advisory Committee on Individuals with Disabilities and Disasters and creates a new Disability and Disaster Preparedness Advisory Commission to ensure accessibility and civil rights protections during disasters.
