The House’s fiscal 2027 Homeland Security appropriations bill, released Thursday, would authorize billions of new dollars for disaster management.
The package — which includes appropriations for the Federal Emergency Management agency — would give $34.1 billion to FEMA programs. That’s over $2 billion more than Congress appropriated for FEMA fiscal 2026.
“On our road to restoring regular order this time around, I hope we’ve learned that when this process is disrupted, it is the people we serve who bear the consequences,” said House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee Chair Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) in a statement.

Amodei cheered the spending package’s push to “ensure communities have the resources they need when disasters strike.”
