Connecting Communities Post Disasters Act of 2025

This bill speeds up repairs to phone and internet systems after major disasters. If the President declares a major disaster or emergency, projects to replace or improve damaged communications equipment would not have to go through certain environmental or historic preservation reviews. This is meant to get service back faster for communities in crisis.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Projects that fix or upgrade communications facilities after a President-declared disaster or emergency.
• What changes: These projects would be exempt from some federal environmental and historic preservation reviews, so they can move more quickly.
• When it applies: After a major disaster or emergency is officially declared by the President.
