VA Flood Preparedness Act

YourVoice.Now Summary

VA medical facilities around the country are increasingly at risk of flooding, including from rising sea levels, but the Department of Veterans Affairs currently can't contribute money to local flood-prevention projects on neighboring property. This bill changes that by allowing the VA to fund local efforts to reduce flood risk near its hospitals and clinics. It also requires the VA to assess every one of its medical facilities for flood risk within two years and report to Congress on whether more resources are needed.

Congressional Summary

VA Flood Preparedness Act This bill authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to make contributions to local authorities to mitigate the risk of flooding on local property adjacent to VA medical facilities.
