Summary

Disaster Survivors Fairness Act of 2022

This bill makes changes in the process for seeking assistance following a major disaster.

Specifically, the bill directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to establish and maintain a web-based interagency electronic information sharing system, to be known as DisasterAssistance.gov, to facilitate the administration of a universal application for federal disaster assistance and for other specified purposes.

The President may provide financial or other assistance to respond to the disaster-related housing needs of individuals and households who are displaced from their predisaster primary residence that is damaged by a major disaster (currently, such residences must be rendered uninhabitable).

The President may provide direct assistance for repairs and for cost-effective hazard mitigation measures that reduce threats to life and property or future damage.

FEMA may enter into a cooperative agreement to provide funding to a state agency to establish and operate a website to provide information relating to postdisaster recovery funding and resources to a community or an individual impacted by a major disaster or emergency.

FEMA may reimburse a state, tribal, or local government for certain costs relating to sheltering emergency response personnel for a major disaster for which the President has authorized emergency protective measures.

The bill extends FEMA's authority to implement state-managed housing assistance as a pilot program until the issuance of final regulations.

FEMA must conduct a study and develop a plan to address the challenges associated with providing housing assistance to survivors of major disasters or emergencies.
