Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to require the President to establish an individual household disaster mitigation program, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive Individual Household Disaster Mitigation Program that requires the President to create a grant program to help states and tribal governments fund pre-disaster mitigation activities for residential households at high risk of natural disasters. The program will involve identifying eligible disaster areas, assessing insurance availability, and providing grants up to $10,000 per household for specific mitigation activities like improving roof strength, installing flood prevention systems, creating fire-resistant landscaping, and implementing other structural improvements to reduce potential damage from natural hazards. The bill creates a diverse 50-member hazard mitigation advisory committee to provide guidance, establishes multi-tiered mitigation standards, and offers tax incentives by excluding disaster mitigation grants from gross income. Additionally, the bill provides a 30% tax credit for qualifying disaster mitigation expenditures and creates provisions to prevent double-counting of benefits. Importantly, the program includes income limitations, with households earning over $250,000 ($500,000 for joint returns) being ineligible, and requires regular review and updating of disaster risk areas using current scientific standards and tools.
