S-1619 : Still Just a Bill


The Post-Disaster Assistance Online Accountability Act (S. 1619) aims to increase transparency in how federal disaster assistance is used.

  • It mandates the creation of a publicly accessible online repository.
  • This repository will be a subpage of the existing website established under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006.
  • Federal agencies providing disaster assistance must submit detailed information to this repository on a quarterly basis.
  • This information includes:
    • The total amount of disaster assistance provided.
    • The amount spent or committed to specific projects.
    • A detailed list of these projects, including their names, descriptions, completion status, location, and any relevant reporting requirements.
  • The goal is to ensure that the public can easily track how disaster relief funds are being used.
  • The covered federal agencies include:
    • Any agency providing assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
    • The Small Business Administration.
    • The Department of Housing and Urban Development.
