New Urban Flood Maps: Empowering Homeowners with Specific Risk Data.
This Act establishes a pilot program to help urban residents better understand their flood risk. FEMA will provide grants to local governments to create modern, easily accessible maps showing how often and to what extent specific structures might flood. The goal is to enhance personal and financial security by providing precise, structure-specific risk data, incorporating climate trends.
Key points
Local authorities will receive funding to develop detailed flood risk maps specific to individual buildings in densely populated areas.
Information about the flood risk to your home or business will be publicly available online, increasing transparency and aiding insurance decisions.
