SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) At a time of constrained budgets, it is fis-
cally prudent to understand the amount and the 
scope of the Federal Government’s involvement in 
providing disaster-related assistance to communities 
in need. 
(2) The Federal Government does not provide 
a single, publicly available estimate of the amount it 
is spending on disaster-related assistance. 
(3) Because recovery is a long-term process, 
providing disaster-related assistance requires signifi-
cant Federal resources to support a multi-agency, 
multi-year restoration of infrastructure and com-
merce in affected communities. 
(4) Understanding the expenditures of indi-
vidual Federal agencies for disaster-related assist-
ance will help better inform the congressional appro-
priations process, as well as presidential budget re-
quests. 
(5) Knowledge about disaster-related expenses 
will illustrate opportunities for reducing these ex-
penses through efforts to reduce vulnerabilities to 
future natural disasters.
