    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.
