Requires a report on FEMA staff turnover to improve disaster help.

This bill would require the Comptroller General to study and report on how often FEMA's case managers and disaster recovery staff leave their jobs. This report would give Congress details about staff turnover, how long people stay, and what FEMA plans to do to keep staff. The goal is to understand and potentially improve how FEMA manages its workforce, which could indirectly help people affected by disasters.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific requirement for the Comptroller General to report on FEMA's case management staff turnover, employment lengths, or detailed disaster recovery personnel rotations. If this bill passes, the Comptroller General would be required to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days, detailing these specific aspects of FEMA's workforce.

Key Provisions
