Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Act of 2025

This bill, introduced in the Senate by Senator Tillis, would provide a one-time appropriation of $25 billion to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund for fiscal year 2025. The funds are intended to support FEMA’s disaster relief activities. The bill designates the funding as an emergency requirement under PAYGO rules, meaning it is treated as emergency spending for budget purposes and is subject to related budget enforcement provisions. The legislation does not lay out specific allocations within the Disaster Relief Fund or prescribe particular programs, but it would broadly empower FEMA to respond to and support recovery from disasters in 2025.
