Ensures FEMA can continue disaster relief operations during a lapse in appropriations.
The Relief Without Delay Act ensures the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can continue disaster relief, recovery, and mitigation operations during a lapse in appropriations. It prohibits the diversion of Disaster Relief Fund balances except to comply with the Anti-Deficiency Act. FEMA must establish a uniform reporting template for Disaster Relief Fund obligations and disbursements, updated monthly. FEMA must also establish a tornado detection and warning improvement program, including advanced technologies and forecasting models.
