Summary
This bill establishes requirements for a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has been repeatedly flooded.
Specifically, a community that has been repeatedly flooded, as specified by the bill, must (1) assess the continuing risks to community areas repeatedly damaged by floods; and (2) develop and implement a publicly available, community-specific plan for mitigating continuing flood risks to such areas.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must, upon request, provide a community with appropriate data to assist in preparation of the required plan.
Read the full summary
In making decisions with respect to awarding flood risk mitigation grants, FEMA may consider the extent to which a community has complied with these requirements and is working to remedy problems with repeatedly flooded areas.
A community that does not comply with these requirements may be subject to sanctions, including suspension from the program.
