The bill would provide funding for certain disaster relief activities during a fiscal year 2026 lapse in appropriations. It covers support for declared major disasters and emergencies, essential disaster response staff, and payments and grants for existing federally funded recovery projects. The funding would end when specified appropriations are enacted or on January 1, 2027, whichever comes first. The funds could not be used for nonessential administrative work, new policy development, or unrelated training or travel.
If a funding lapse occurs, the bill would allow specified disaster assistance and existing recovery projects to continue receiving support. It does not describe specific assistance for individual households.
The bill provides amounts needed for the covered activities from Treasury funds not otherwise appropriated. It does not state a total amount.
