Disaster Relief Act

Read a random definition: child-care fund

A quick definition of Disaster Relief Act:

Disaster Relief Act: A law that allows the government to help states and cities when there is a big problem like a hurricane, flood, or earthquake. The law helps people who are hurt or need help because of the disaster. The President can declare an area a disaster zone so that the government can send help quickly.

A more thorough explanation:

The Disaster Relief Act is a federal law that allows the government to assist state and local governments in providing relief to people affected by natural disasters. These disasters can include hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, mudslides, drought, fire, and explosions.

For example, if a hurricane hits a coastal town and causes widespread damage, the Disaster Relief Act allows the federal government to provide resources and funding to help the affected community recover. This could include providing temporary housing, food and water, medical assistance, and financial aid.

The Disaster Relief Act was amended in 1974 to establish a process for the President to declare affected communities as disaster areas. This allows for a more coordinated and effective response to disasters, as resources can be quickly mobilized to help those in need.
