Bill overview
This bill, the Enhancing Long-Term, Efficient, and Viable Alternatives to Empower Flood-Prone Communities Act of 2026, aims to increase the use of nonstructural flood risk management solutions, such as elevating structures and filling basements, instead of relying solely on costly structural projects like levees. It directs the Army Corps of Engineers to prioritize these approaches, reaffirms their role in flood risk reduction, and includes provisions to ensure continued funding and oversight of ongoing projects. The bill also addresses relocation assistance for property owners impacted by flood risk management measures.
