FEMA plans floodplain limits to curb repeats
In the Red River Valley floodprone region, FEMA shifts to use flood insurance as a lever to discourage new floodplain development. The plan ties insurance rates and grants to restraint on construction, with the threat of ineligibility for new policies for communities not limiting floodplain growth. The strategy adds wetlands preservation to the environmental case, noting $3.48 billion paid on repeat flood claims for 87,478 buildings since 1978.
