NJ A2328

Requires the Department of Community Affairs to track natural disaster-related spending by counties, municipalities, local authorities, fire districts, school districts, and the State, with annual updates published on the State's website

Spending must be organized into four categories: preparedness (training, warning systems, emergency planning), mitigation (retrofitting buildings, property buyouts, hazard plans), response (search and rescue, emergency shelter, damage assessment), and recovery (debris management, infrastructure reconstruction, redevelopment grants)

Each spending category must identify the funding source (local, State, or federal government) and indicate whether reimbursement is anticipated

Local government units and school districts must include natural disaster-related spending summaries as part of their existing user-friendly budget reporting requirements

Data must be made available on State websites in downloadable formats using commonly-used software for public comparison purposes
