The Disaster Recovery Efficiency Act requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to implement recommendations from a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report issued in November 2022 on improving federal disaster recovery efforts. The bill affects disaster survivors and communities recovering from disasters by directing these agencies to adopt the GAO's priority recommendations aimed at making the federal disaster recovery process more efficient and effective. The legislation does not specify new funding or a particular timeline beyond requiring the agencies to take necessary actions to implement the recommendations. This bill addresses long-standing concerns about coordination and efficiency gaps in how the federal government helps communities rebuild after major disasters.
