Bill overview
The Flood Resiliency and Taxpayer Savings Act of 2020 aims to reduce the financial and property damage caused by floods and save taxpayer dollars. It requires federal agencies to assess flood risks for all federally funded projects, considering factors like flood insurance maps and potential future conditions. If risks are deemed inadequate, agencies must use specific design standards to ensure resilience, and a task force will develop guidelines for agencies to improve flood risk management practices.
