Flood risk has increased across much of the United States due to sea level rise, changing precipitation patterns, and development. As a result, the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard directs federal agencies to consider the effects of future flooding for federally funded actions to further reduce risk of flooding. There is a 60-day comment period from Oct. 2 – Dec. 1, 2023.

La Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés) publicó un aviso en el Registro Federal (enlace en inglés) solicitando comentarios del público sobre cómo implementar nueva legislación que designará las áreas que tienen comunidades con el mayor riesgo de los peligros naturales.

FEMA has published a notice in the Federal Register comment on how to apply new legislation that will designate areas with communities most at risk and from natural hazards. This notice is for the agency to gain better understanding in key areas that will support an effective implementation of the Community Disaster Resilience Zone Act. FEMA posted the Request for Information to learn the best ways to obtain public feedback that will help shape and inform how the agency uses the act to increase resilience efforts.
