Officially: Disaster Assistance Simplification Act
People could use one main FEMA system to apply for several kinds of federal disaster help instead of filling out separate forms. The bill also lets approved agencies share application data, with privacy, security, and reporting rules tied to that system.

Congressional offices prioritize messages from their own constituents. Modern Action uses your address to route the drafted message to your House representative when that is the most relevant target for this bill.
The draft includes the bill number, your position, the reasons you selected, any personal context you added, and a direct ask such as voting yes, voting no, cosponsoring, opposing, or seeking changes. You stay in control because you review it before it sends.
This page is for understanding Disaster Assistance Simplification Act, choosing whether you support it, oppose it, or want changes. Modern Action drafts the message before it goes to Congress.
Modern Action keeps the action tied to the bill itself: what it would do, where it is in the process (desk), which office can still act, and what ask belongs in the message.
You are not starting from a blank form. Modern Action drafts the message around S861, your stance, and the reasons you choose, then leaves the final review and edits to you.
