Summary
This bill would make predisaster hazard mitigation mandatory nationwide. It would require the President to provide predisaster mitigation assistance and to carry out mitigation activities instead of leaving them discretionary.
Show full summary
- Families and households in flood, heat, or storm-prone areas would get stronger federal support for projects like elevating or relocating structures, heat-risk measures, and hardening buildings.
- Local governments and communities would face a predictable federal duty to deliver predisaster grants. The bill notes the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program began in 2019 and says $4 billion in grants were allegedly clawed back in 2025.
- Federal response would change legal duties by converting two subsections of Section 203 of the Stafford Act from discretionary to mandatory. The bill cites that every $1 invested in predisaster mitigation can save up to $13 in recovery costs.

Make pre-disaster mitigation aid mandatory
The bill would require the federal government to provide pre-disaster hazard mitigation help, rather than leaving it optional. States, local governments, and tribes would be able to get support to plan and reduce local risks. Help could include elevating or relocating flood-prone structures, reducing deaths during extreme heat, and hardening buildings for hurricanes or earthquakes. This change would take effect upon enactment. The bill does not set a funding amount.
