The bill creates a State Disaster Relief Program administered by an agency to provide grants to county emergency management agencies. Grants can be used for repairing infrastructure, emergency measures, protecting public health, and debris removal. A county can request a grant if a disaster has occurred, a state of emergency has been declared, and the damages exceed federal disaster relief. Grants are limited to $250,000 per fiscal year and depend on available funds.
