Plain-English Summary

This bill would let communities that receive federal flood prevention grants use that money to pay for special flood insurance policies that pay out quickly based on the severity of a flood, rather than waiting for damage assessments. The change would help towns and cities protect themselves from flooding by giving them more flexibility in how they spend federal disaster prevention funds. Communities affected by flooding would benefit from faster insurance payouts when floods occur.
