The "Fire Management Assistance Grants for Tribal Governments Act" amends the Stafford Act to allow Indian tribal governments to directly request and receive fire management assistance grants from FEMA. It ensures tribal governments can still receive assistance through a state if their direct request is not authorized. The President must update regulations to reflect these changes, consider the unique circumstances of tribal governments, and consult with them during the update process.
The "FEMA Workforce Planning Act" requires FEMA to develop and regularly update a plan to improve its workforce, address staffing gaps, and enhance efficiency, with congressional oversight and analysis.
