Flood History Information Act of 2021

Bill 117 hr 5256, also known as the Flood History Information Act of 2021, aims to improve the availability and accessibility of flood history information for homeowners and communities. The bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to establish a centralized database of flood history information, including data on past flooding events, flood risk assessments, and flood insurance claims.

The database will be accessible to the public and will provide valuable information for homeowners, businesses, and local governments to better understand and prepare for flood risks. Additionally, the bill requires FEMA to update and maintain the database regularly to ensure that the information is accurate and up-to-date.

The Flood History Information Act of 2021 also includes provisions to improve coordination between federal, state, and local agencies in collecting and sharing flood history information. This will help ensure that all levels of government have access to the data they need to make informed decisions about flood risk management and disaster preparedness. Overall, this bill is aimed at increasing transparency and awareness of flood risks, and providing valuable information to help communities better prepare for and respond to flooding events.
