VA Flood Preparedness Act
The VA Flood Preparedness Act (HR 2683) allows the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide funding to local authorities for projects that reduce flood risks near VA medical facilities, including risks from rising sea levels. It directly affects VA medical facilities and local communities working with the VA to implement flood mitigation measures. The bill amends existing law to permit these contributions and requires the VA Secretary to submit a report within two years assessing flood risks at each VA medical facility and whether additional resources are needed for mitigation. This creates a concrete mechanism for proactive flood risk management at VA healthcare locations.
