TMAC 2023 Annual Report
Several of the TMAC’s 2023 recommendations propose fundamental changes to foundational elements of the mapping program and floodplain management functions of the National Flood Insurance Program. We understand that some of these recommendations may be met with controversy, fueling longstanding debates regarding how our Nation manages its shared flood risk and other difficult topics, such as who pays and how much before and after flood disasters strike. Rather than shy away from these difficult issues, the TMAC seized what it saw as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to offer recommendations that help put the Nation on a better path in the face of increasing flood damages and risks.
The forward-leaning recommendations identified within this report will, undoubtably, help reduce future flood losses compared to maintaining the status quo. With that said, these recommendations cannot be effectively implemented without a concurrent effort to directly address the financial challenges that will require all of us to work together to improve the situation for future generations.
