This amendment, dated October 4, 2024, changes how federal funds are shared, allowing for 100% federal funding for certain emergency tasks for 90 days within the first 120 days after the storm. This includes costs for debris removal and emergency measures. The change was authorized under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced updates regarding Community Disaster Resilience Zones and the National Risk Index. Under the Community Disaster Resilience Zones Act, FEMA is now designating certain census tracts as resilience zones, allowing these areas to receive increased federal funding and support for disaster preparedness. The National Risk Index is a tool used to identify U.S. communities most at risk from natural hazards, providing essential data for planners and decision-makers. On September 6, 2023, FEMA designated 483 initial zones using this index, focusing on areas with high risks and needs, especially disadvantaged communities.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA is picking certain neighborhoods to get more help for preparing for bad weather, like storms and floods. They use a special list to find places that need the most help, but they haven't explained all the details about how they pick these places yet.
