## Summary

**Restructures how federal pre-disaster hazard mitigation funds are allocated.** This bill would replace the current local-competition approach with a formula-based system that gives States and Indian tribal governments direct allocations and tightens what projects qualify for funding. - States and Indian tribal governments would get direct allocations under a three-part formula that divides funds equally, by population, and by critical-infrastructure vulnerability. It also establishes a tribal minimum of $75 million. - Local governments carrying out recommended projects would receive at least 50% of the formula funds, with leftover money directed to other mitigation activities. - Projects must meet cost-effectiveness and hazard-reduction criteria, States could use funds only for recommended projects, the President could approve a non-recommended project in extraordinary cases, and receipt of these predisaster funds would not count toward eligibility for funding for the same project under Section 404.

## Provisions PRIA read

- New disaster funding formula for states and tribes: benefit, high. If enacted, FEMA’s pre-disaster money would be sent by formula, not just local grant competitions. Each year, 33% would be split equally among eligible states, 33% by state population, and 33% by infrastructure risk. Tribal governments would receive at least $75,000,000. States would have to pass a…
- Keep projects eligible across hazard programs: benefit, low. If enacted, getting funds under one FEMA hazard program would not be used to deny the same project funds under the other. This would apply both ways for pre‑disaster and post‑disaster programs. Projects would still need to meet all other rules.
- Changes to President's disaster funding role: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would change the wording on when the President may give funds to a State, setting a new written test. It would also remove a link that tied distribution rules to another set of criteria. These are decision‑rule changes and could affect how awards are made.
