Bill information
Summary
To amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to provide for individual and household assistance in the event of a prolonged power outage, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change federal disaster assistance rules to cover prolonged power outages. The Stafford Act is the main law that lets the federal government give money and help after disasters. Currently, power outages alone do not qualify for federal disaster assistance. This bill would add power outages to situations eligible for that help. The bill is in its early stage, just introduced in Congress.
