Special Announcement

May 31, 2023 -  Subscribe Special Announcement: FEMA Seeks Public Comments on the implementation of the Community Disaster Resilience Zone Act of 2022 FEMA Seeks Public Comments on the implementation of the Community Disaster Resilience Zone Act of 2022 FEMA has published a notice in the Federal Register seeking input from the public on how to implement this new legislation, designed to build disaster resilience across the nation by creating and designating resilience zones which identify disadvantaged communities most at-risk to natural hazards. This new law amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Recovery and Emergency Act to use FEMA's National Risk Index to designate community disaster zones. These represent areas with the highest natural hazard risk and a relatively lower ability to withstand the impacts of these risks. This Request for Information will help the agency gain better understanding in key areas that will support an effective implementation of the Community Disaster Resilience Zone Act.  This includes learning how communities identify, use and apply risk assessment tools to reduce natural hazard effects and how to achieve equity and geographic balance when designating zones. Comments can be submitted from 2023-11268 on the Federal eRulemaking Portal, Docket ID: FEMA-2023-0009 or by emailing FEMA-CDRZ-RFI@fema.dhs.gov. Please follow the instructions on the page for submitting comments and contact the Regulations.gov Help Desk if you have technical issues.
