National Flood Impact Reduction and Resilience Act of 2026

This bill would create a National Flood Impact Reduction and Resilience Program to reduce deaths and property losses from floods through coordinated federal work with other governments, academia, and the private sector. The program would develop flood reduction measures, offer grants and technical help, create standards and voluntary codes, keep a flood data repository, publish flood maps, and support research. An interagency committee chaired by the Chief of the Army Corps of Engineers would plan, manage, and budget the program and meet at least once a year. The Chief would also set up an outside advisory committee of at least 11 non-federal members to assess the program.
