The U.S. House of Representatives proposed an $81 billion disaster aid package to help communities hit by hurricanes and wildfires. The amount is almost double the amount requested by President Donald Trump.

Republican leaders promised a fast vote on the measure, the Associated Press reports. Passage would bring the total provided in response to this year’s round of hurricanes to more than $130 billion, exceeding the cost to taxpayers of Hurricane Katrina.

More than $17 billion of that amount would pay to modernize and harden the island’s electric power grid.

In late October, Texas officials asked for $61 billion in federal assistance to rebuild the public infrastructure of the Texas Gulf Coast damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Harvey.

Hurricane Harvey caused an estimated $180 billion in damages. The $61 billion represents the portion for public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools, government buildings and other public facilities. It also includes projects designed to mitigate the impact of future storms on the Texas Gulf Coast.

The emergency aid proposed December 18 by House Republicans would provide $26 billion for community development block grants, which would help Florida, Texas and the Caribbean rebuild, along with Western states recovering from wildfires. Funding is also included for infrastructure improvements to prevent future flooding, for highway repairs and to help small businesses.

Around $28 billion is also earmarked for the government’s chief disaster aid account, $4 billion of which could be used to help cash-strapped governments such as Puerto Rico’s.

The package also would provide $2.6 billion for farm disasters, the AP says. Florida lawmakers have said citrus crops in their state have been suffering.

In November, the White House requested $44 billion, his third emergency request since hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria hit the Gulf Coast and Caribbean.
