REAADI for Disasters Act

The REAADI for Disasters Act aims to ensure that people with disabilities and older adults are better protected and included in emergency planning before, during, and after natural disasters. The bill establishes a national network of centers to provide technical assistance and grants for projects that help these vulnerable populations prepare for and recover from emergencies. Additionally, it creates oversight committees to monitor federal spending and ensure that disaster response efforts comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. For citizens, this means more accessible evacuation plans, improved emergency communication, and a greater voice for seniors and the disability community in how local and federal agencies handle disasters.
