**Would expand which preparedness and resilience actions count toward a higher FEMA Public Assistance federal cost share.** The bill would let FEMA recognize investments in preparedness programs, designated building standards or land-use practices, and support for community emergency response teams so certain disaster repairs could qualify for a federal share that rises from a 75% minimum to as much as 85%. - Local governments and eligible nonprofits could qualify more often for up to an 85% federal share on repairing or replacing disaster-damaged facilities by investing in preparedness and resilience measures. - Community emergency response teams and similar non-governmental organizations would be eligible for federal support for training, outreach, and preparedness exercises. - State and Tribal governments would get comprehensive guidance from FEMA within one year on which measures and investments qualify for the higher cost share. - Communities that adopt science-based building standards or land-use practices for storms, floods, tsunamis, or wildfires could have those actions count toward the increased federal share.
