Plain-English Summary

The federal government would create consistent standards and requirements to help communities better prepare for and withstand flooding, both from current flood risks and those expected to increase in the future. This would affect homeowners, businesses, local governments, and insurance companies by establishing how buildings should be constructed or modified and how communities should plan to reduce flood damage. The bill aims to make the nation more resilient by ensuring that flood preparedness follows uniform guidelines rather than varying from state to state or region to region.
