Congress successfully established a coordinated federal program to reduce earthquake risk, and we should bring that same proven model to improve flood resilience. Our bill would strengthen coordination between the public and private sectors to ensure that our communities have the information and tools they need to prepare before the next flood.
I will support legislation to establish a coordinated federal flood impact reduction and resilience program to improve flood-risk understanding, mitigation, resilience, and reduce loss of life and property from flooding.

Rep. Beyer’s official House office announced that Beyer and Rep. David Valadao introduced the National Flood Impact Reduction and Resilience Act on August 21, 2026. The release says the bill would create a coordinated federal program to improve flood-risk understanding, mitigation and resilience, and reduce flood-related loss of life and property.
Assessments
Beyer fulfilled the federal campaign commitment by sponsoring and introducing H.R. 10120, the National Flood Impact Reduction and Resilience Act, while serving in the same U.S. House term. The bill directly matches the promised action: support legislation to create a coordinated federal flood impact reduction and resilience program to improve flood-risk understanding, mitigation, resilience, and reduce flood-related loss of life and property. The available status shows introduction and committee referral, not enactment, but the claim was framed as supporting legislation rather than guaranteeing final passage.
