Recognizing the eighth anniversary of Hurricane Maria's destruction of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands.

H. Res. 724 is a non-binding resolution recognizing the eighth anniversary of Hurricane Maria’s destruction of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. While acknowledging the substantial human and economic toll of the disaster, the measure expresses support for accelerating recovery efforts and prioritizing resilient infrastructure. Specifically, it urges the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to expedite the full disbursement of recovery funds and calls on Congress and the Administration to focus on modernizing the energy grid, expanding health care capacity, and ensuring equitable disaster recovery for future events. The resolution is symbolic and declaratory, not a law that allocates funds or imposes new obligations.
