This bill, titled the REAADI for Disasters Act, addresses the critical need to improve disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation for older adults and individuals with disabilities. Congressional findings highlight that these groups experience significantly higher death rates during disasters, face communication barriers, and often lack access to accessible shelters and services. The legislation aims to ensure their inclusion, protect their civil rights, and prevent discrimination throughout all phases of disaster management. A key provision amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to mandate that funds made available for disaster relief comply with disability laws. Covered recipients of these funds must establish advisory committees that include individuals with disabilities and older adults. They are also encouraged to contract with Centers for Independent Living for various services, including identifying and adapting accessible emergency shelters and developing accessible communication materials. Furthermore, any facilities or services provided with these funds must be accessible, and dwelling units constructed or prepared must meet visitability standards . The bill authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award competitive grants for establishing Training, Technical Assistance, and Research Disability and Disaster Centers . These centers will provide training and technical assistance to state, local, Tribal, and territorial agencies, focusing on systemic inclusion and civil rights for covered individuals. They will also conduct research to identify effective methods for protecting civil rights, reducing harm, and ensuring the participation of individuals with disabilities and older adults in disaster planning and response. A new Disaster Human Services Emergency Fund is established to rapidly address the immediate human services needs of at-risk individuals during major disasters or public health emergencies. This fund will support coordination among various entities and provide grants for projects offering essential human services, such as case management, support for community living options, and accessible home and community-based services. Priority will be given to projects that provide accessible services and restore diminished agency functions. Additionally, the bill authorizes Disaster Preparedness Grants to build capacity for accessible disaster preparedness and response efforts. These grants will foster multi-sectoral partnerships and improve the ability of human service agencies to support at-risk individuals. It also includes provisions for Projects of National Significance , offering grants for initiatives that empower individuals with disabilities and older adults to contribute directly to disaster improvement, support inclusive policy development, and conduct research on disaster impacts and best practices. The legislation mandates that states and local governmental entities develop crisis standards of care for disasters and public health emergencies that comply with non-discrimination requirements, explicitly stating that civil rights may not be suspended or waived. These standards must reflect the inherent dignity and equal worth of all individuals, especially covered individuals and children, and ensure equitable allocation of resources. Finally, the bill expands the National Advisory Committee on Individuals with Disabilities and Disasters to include more diverse representation and establishes a new Disability and Disaster Preparedness Advisory Committee to review past settlement agreements related to disability rights in disasters. It also directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate past federal fund usage for compliance with disability laws.
