Disaster Recovery Improvement Act

This bill would require the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to create a Disaster Recovery Improvement Task Force within 90 days. The task force would include senior officials from FEMA and 12 other federal agencies, plus 4 state governors and 4 county commissioners from areas that recently had a major hurricane, wildfire, tornado, or earthquake. Within one year, the task force would issue a public report listing federal disaster recovery programs, identifying causes of funding delays, and recommending ways to speed up disaster relief funding. A follow-up report would explain which recommendations agencies will carry out. No new money would be authorized, and the task force would end 90 days after its final report.
