The Storm is upon us ???
On Friday, January 1, 2021, the President signed into law:
S. 3418, the “Safeguarding Tomorrow through Ongoing Risk Mitigation Act” or the “STORM Act,” which authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide capitalization grants to States to establish revolving funds to provide hazard mitigation assistance to reduce risks from disasters and natural hazards.
Looks like natural disaster relief.
That's a pretty vague single paragraph description there. No way the actual act is so short. I wonder what it's really about...
The defense bill removed funding for Trump to use the IA. What if this is a back door EO along with his 2018 EO to determine this is a disaster relief fund.
