The FEMA Accountability Act requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency to submit detailed monthly reports to Congress on how it is spending money from the Disaster Relief Fund, starting within 60 days of enactment. Each report must include information about obligated and disbursed funds broken down by specific disaster declarations, lists of approved and pending projects, and explanations for any withheld or reprogrammed funds. FEMA must also make these reports publicly available on its website within 10 days and establish a standardized reporting template within 90 days using federal data standards. The legislation creates transparency requirements for disaster relief spending but does not allocate new funding or establish specific timelines for project completion—it simply mandates better tracking and disclosure of how existing disaster relief dollars are being used.
