The bill would create a Federal Emergency Management Agency pilot program for selected local governments to apply directly for hazard mitigation assistance for property acquisition, demolition, or relocation. FEMA would choose no more than two local governments per region and no more than one from each state in a region. Each community could participate for up to 48 months. FEMA would report annually on the program and assess whether it should continue, end, or become permanent. The program would end no later than eight years after communities are selected.
Selected local governments could apply directly to FEMA for assistance with eligible property acquisition, demolition, or relocation projects. The bill does not specify individual eligibility or benefits for residents.
The bill authorizes amounts Congress considers necessary to run the pilot program. It does not specify a dollar amount.
