FIRM IT Act of 2024
S.3650 (FIRM IT Act of 2024) amends federal flood insurance mapping rules to improve accuracy and coordination. It requires FEMA to consult with the Defense Department, USGS, and NOAA for updated topographic and water flow data when creating flood maps, and mandates inclusion of property boundary details (like parcel IDs and addresses) in these maps. The bill also sets technical standards, requiring maps to align with the 2022 National Spatial Reference System modernization and follow standard geographic information system protocols. These changes directly affect how FEMA develops flood insurance rate maps, which determine insurance costs for homeowners in flood-prone areas.
