What it does

The Strengthening Capacity for Disaster Resilient Territories Act would require FEMA to establish a Territorial Disaster Recovery Program to continuously identify, monitor, and address capability gaps that hinder disaster recovery efforts by eligible entities in U.S. territories. The program would provide tailored technical assistance, develop targeted training, create best practices, and foster local collaboration to improve access to federal disaster grants under the Stafford Act. It would also mandate biennial reports to Congress and authorize $50 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to support the program’s operations.
