No Delays in Disaster Relief Act

This legislation directs the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to establish a process for appointing an Acting Regional Administrator whenever a Regional Administrator position has been vacant for at least 90 days. This measure aims to ensure continuity and prevent delays in critical disaster relief operations by filling leadership gaps promptly and empowering these acting officials to make relevant grant and programmatic decisions . Specifically, Acting Regional Administrators would have the authority to support the timely obligation and disbursement of funds, and to process and disburse federal grant assistance directly to states and local governments. The bill also mandates FEMA to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days, detailing the implementation of these delegated authorities, assessing their impact on program efficiency, and providing data on grant processing timelines.
