Farmers and communities would get more help to protect lands from floods and disasters.
This bill, called the Farmers Lifeline to Overcoming Disasters (FLOOD) Act, would expand an existing federal conservation program. It would allow money from the Regional Conservation Partnership Program to be used for emergency watershed protection measures. This means farmers, landowners, and communities could get more support to protect their land from floods and other water-related disasters.
Today, the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) helps with various conservation efforts but does not specifically cover emergency watershed protection. If this bill becomes law, the RCPP would expand to include these emergency measures, giving farmers and communities more ways to protect their land from water-related disasters.
