Bill overview
This bill, the FEMA Operational Transparency Act, requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a comprehensive audit of how the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spends its money. The audit will specifically examine payments made for individual assistance, public assistance, hazard mitigation, and federal agency mission assignments related to disasters. The GAO will compare these spending amounts to administrative costs, analyze staffing levels, and provide recommendations for improving efficiency and ensuring disaster relief reaches those who need it most, particularly in rural areas.
