Rouzer Introduces STORM Act to Accelerate Medical Response During Natural Disasters
Evidence
Rouzer announced that he introduced H.R. 6539, the STORM Act, to let FEMA use online platforms to connect healthcare workers with communities affected by natural disasters.
On a June 5, 2026 House press-release page about a separate primary-care bill, the related-news section still links back to the April 27 STORM Act introduction.
Assessments
Rouzer did take concrete legislative action by introducing H.R. 6539, the STORM Act, which matches the promise to let FEMA use online platforms to connect healthcare workers with disaster-affected communities. But the evidence only shows introduction and later office references to the bill; there is no sign of enactment, committee advance, or implemented FEMA authority. That makes this a serious but unsuccessful attempt rather than a delivered outcome.
