REAADI for Disasters Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Real Emergency Access for Aging and Disability Inclusion for Disasters Act or the REAADI for Disasters Act
This bill establishes programs and requirements to assist individuals with disabilities and older adults (age 50 or older) with disaster preparedness.
Among other provisions, the bill
- allows states to contract with centers for independent living to provide services and support to disabled individuals in preparing for hazards;
- requires the Department of Health and Human Services to award grants to carry out projects of national significance that, among other things, create opportunities for disabled individuals and older adults to directly contribute to disaster preparedness, recovery, and mitigation;
- modifies and expands the membership of the National Advisory Committee on Individuals with Disabilities and Disasters to ensure that it represents the diversity of the disabled and older adult communities; and
- establishes the Disability and Disaster Preparedness Advisory Committee to review settlement agreements involving potential violations of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The Government Accountability Office must study the compliance of federal agencies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in expending funds to support disabled individuals and older adults in responding to, recovering from, and mitigating disasters.
