Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the event of a lapse in appropriations, the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall be authorized to— (1) continue all disaster relief, recovery, and mitigation operations funded through the Disaster Relief Fund; (2) obligate and disburse Disaster Relief Fund balances for all existing and future disaster declarations, including individual and public assistance under sections 403, 406, 407, 408, and 502 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5170b, 5172, 5173, 5174, and 5192); and (3) maintain personnel and contract support necessary to ensure uninterrupted processing of claims and payments.
