The bill also includes measures to improve the financial stability of the NFIP, enhance flood mapping and risk assessment capabilities, and promote mitigation efforts to reduce the impact of flooding on communities. Overall, the National Flood Insurance Program Extension Act of 2022 is a critical piece of legislation that ensures the continued availability of flood insurance for property owners in flood-prone areas and helps to protect communities from the devastating effects of flooding.
