This bill matters because natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe, causing immense costs in lives, property damage, and taxpayer money for recovery. Right now, it's not always clear which disaster preparation projects funded by the government are truly effective and which ones provide the best value for money.
If this bill becomes law, we'll get a clearer picture of whether our tax dollars are being spent wisely on disaster prevention. It could lead to FEMA investing in projects that are proven to work, saving federal and local governments—and ultimately taxpayers—billions in future disaster response and recovery costs. Without this bill, there's less accountability and less data to guide smart decisions about protecting communities from future disasters, meaning potentially less effective spending and higher costs down the road.
