## Summary

**Federal review to identify and fund at-risk water infrastructure.** The bill would direct the Comptroller General of the United States (GAO) to study FEMA funding available to states, localities, individuals, and small businesses after water infrastructure failures and to recommend federal-state strategies and congressional funding options. - Families and households: Would clarify what FEMA assistance exists for individuals after events like water main breaks, making recovery options easier to find. - State and local governments: Would produce recommendations for partnerships to identify areas most at risk of future water infrastructure failures so mitigation can be prioritized. - Congress and federal agencies: Would require a GAO report within six months that outlines ways Congress could fund prevention and outlines steps for federal-state coordination.
