Bill overview
The RIDER Act expands the scope of federal disaster assistance by allowing aid to be provided to areas neighboring those officially declared disaster zones. It broadens the definition of ‘major disaster’ to include multiple natural disasters occurring within a 12-month period, even if each individual event doesn't meet the threshold for major disaster assistance. This aims to provide more comprehensive support to communities impacted by widespread catastrophes. The bill also clarifies which types of assistance are covered under the expanded definition.
