H.R. 9680 is a plan to help more people when natural disasters like big storms happen by giving help to areas near the disaster and when small disasters add up. It wants to make sure the help is fair and given quickly, but also wants clear rules so everyone knows how things work.

The Regional Impact of Disasters and Emergencies Relief Act is a new rule that says if a big storm happens in one place, the areas next to it can also get help, even if they don’t get hit as badly. It also says small storms that together cause a lot of trouble can be treated like one big storm for getting help from the government.
