This bill creates a pilot grant program to help communities fix damage from mudslides that happen after wildfires. The Interior Department and the Department of Homeland Security, through FEMA, must set it up within 6 months after the law takes effect. The grants would support new, practical ways to repair mudslide damage, and awards would be made through a competitive process.

The program can receive $5 million each year from 2026 through 2032. States, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories are included in the definition of “State” for this program. Applicants must submit information as the agencies require.

Who is affected: Communities in states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories dealing with post-wildfire mudslide damage.
What changes: A new competitive grant program to fund innovative repair solutions for mudslide damage after wildfires.
When: Agencies must launch the program within 180 days after enactment; funding is authorized for fiscal years 2026–2032.
