Bill overview
The Disaster Equity and Fairness Act aims to improve the delivery of federal disaster assistance, particularly to underserved communities. It increases the federal government’s cost share for assistance provided to local governments and Indian tribal governments after a second or subsequent major disaster within a three-year period. The bill also establishes a program to reimburse states, local governments, and tribal governments for coordinating food delivery, production, and distribution during disasters, with a focus on underserved communities. Furthermore, it redefines ‘underserved community’ to include specific populations and geographic areas facing systemic disadvantage and prioritizes technical assistance for these communities when applying for disaster relief.
