Bill overview
This bill, the Repeatedly Flooded Communities Preparation Act, aims to hold communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program accountable for addressing repeated flood damage. It requires communities that meet specific criteria – including a high number of flood claims and assistance for flood-related damage – to develop and implement a community-specific plan to mitigate future flood risks. FEMA will provide assistance and consider these plans when awarding flood risk mitigation grants, and can impose sanctions on communities that fail to comply.
