Bill > S270

This bill establishes a Commission on Federal Natural Disaster Resilience and Recovery within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to examine and recommend reforms for improving the federal government's approach to natural disaster preparedness and recovery. The commission will consist of 15 members appointed by the OMB Director, including one OMB employee and representatives from various sectors such as emergency management, government, healthcare, infrastructure, and disability advocacy. The commission's key responsibilities include conducting a comprehensive review of federally funded disaster resilience and recovery programs, evaluating their effectiveness, and identifying ways to reduce duplication and improve efficiency. Within two years of its first meeting, the commission must submit a detailed report to congressional committees that includes specific policy recommendations, a comprehensive review of federal disaster-related activities, a complete list of federally funded disaster programs, and suggestions for administrative changes. The commission will conduct its work through meetings, consultations with various federal agencies, and will have the authority to request information from these agencies. The commission will be terminated 60 days after submitting its final report, and its work will be funded through existing OMB appropriations without requiring additional funding.
