Flood Prevention: New Rules for Agricultural Land and Infrastructure Protection

This act aims to improve flood protection, especially in agricultural areas. It allows for more comprehensive post-flood restoration and increases funding for flood control infrastructure repairs, potentially reducing losses and enhancing public safety. Additionally, it mandates a flood risk study for agriculture to better prepare for future threats.
Key points
Enhanced Post-Flood Restoration: Authorities can now take actions that not only repair damage but also increase protection against future floods, if cost-effective and environmentally beneficial.
Increased Funding for Repairs: The federal government will cover a larger portion (up to 90%) of the costs for repairing damaged flood control structures, easing the burden on local communities.
Agricultural Flood Risk Study: A report will be created to assess the impact of floods on crops and livestock, aiding in the planning of better protection strategies for farmers.
