2/5/2024, 3:15 PM
Summary of Bill HR 3972
Bill 118 hr 3972, also known as the Flood Resiliency and Land Stewardship Act, aims to address the increasing threat of flooding in the United States by promoting land stewardship practices that can help mitigate the impact of floods. The bill recognizes the importance of protecting natural resources and ecosystems in order to build resilience against flooding events.
One key provision of the bill is the establishment of a grant program to support landowners in implementing flood resiliency measures on their properties. This could include activities such as restoring wetlands, planting trees, or creating buffer zones along waterways. By investing in these types of projects, the bill aims to reduce the risk of flooding and protect communities from the devastating effects of natural disasters.
Additionally, the Flood Resiliency and Land Stewardship Act includes provisions to improve coordination between federal, state, and local agencies in order to better manage flood risk. This could involve sharing data, coordinating planning efforts, and developing strategies to address flooding on a regional scale. Overall, the bill seeks to promote sustainable land management practices that can help communities adapt to the changing climate and reduce the impact of flooding events. By investing in flood resiliency and land stewardship, the United States can better protect its natural resources and build more resilient communities for the future.
