To eliminate any subsidies for flood insurance coverage under the National 
Flood Insurance Program for new construction, and for other purposes. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 16, 2021 
Mr. PETERS (for himself and Mr. BARR) introduced the following bill; which 
was referred to the Committee on Financial Services 
A BILL 
To eliminate any subsidies for flood insurance coverage under 
the National Flood Insurance Program for new construc-
tion, and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Build for Future Dis-
asters Act of 2021’’. 
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS. 
The Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) According to the National Oceanic and At-
mospheric Administration, since 2000, flooding has 
become the most common and costly natural disaster

in the United States, impacting all 50 States and 
causing more than $845 billion in damage. 
(2) A 2019 report from the California-based 
analytics company CoreLogic found that 7.3 million 
homes along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts alone are 
at risk from storm surge, with a potential $1.8 tril-
lion in reconstruction costs. 
(3) Research from New York University’s 
Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy 
estimated that, in 2015, 15 million people nation-
wide lived in the 100-year floodplain spread across 
coastal and inland States. 
(4) The National Flood Insurance Program 
(NFIP), administered by the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (FEMA), provides federally 
backed flood insurance in over 22,000 communities 
in 56 States and jurisdictions in the United States 
with more than 5 million policies providing over $1.3 
trillion in coverage. 
(5) In 1966, while calling for the creation of 
the NFIP, the Task Force on Federal Flood Control 
Policy provided ‘‘a caution on flood insurance’’ that 
if ‘‘incorrectly applied, it could exacerbate the whole 
problem of flood losses.’’. The report warned that in-
surance coverage not proportionate to risk would

‘‘invite economic waste of great magnitude . . . ag-
gravate flood damages and constitute gross public ir-
responsibility’’. 
(6) According to the Government Accountability 
Office (GAO), the NFIP offers 20 percent of policy-
holders heavily subsidized rates that FEMA esti-
mates may be 45 to 50 percent below a full-risk 
rate. 
(7) Since 2005, the NFIP has borrowed nearly 
$40 billion from taxpayers to meet policyholder in-
surance claims. 
(8) In 2017, the Congressional Budget Office 
estimated that under its current model the NFIP is 
expected to lose $1.3 billion a year. 
(9) Historically, repeatedly flooded properties 
have accounted for just 1 percent of properties with 
National Flood Insurance Program policies but 
about 25 to 30 percent of flood claims. Nationwide 
more than 150,000 properties have repeatedly flood-
ed at a cost to the NFIP of more than $12.5 billion. 
(10) On May 26, 2019, four former FEMA Ad-
ministrators wrote a letter to Congressional leaders 
stating: ‘‘Change is needed to allow the NFIP to pay 
off its debt and serve its purposes of reducing Fed-
eral disaster spending following flood events, mini-

mizing flood losses, and discouraging unwise build-
ing in flood-prone areas.’’. 
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of the Congress that the Federal Gov-
ernment should— 
(1) discourage regulation and policies that re-
sult in building and rebuilding homes located in high 
flood-risk areas; 
(2) limit the availability of federally subsidized 
flood insurance for construction of new homes, busi-
ness, and infrastructure; 
(3) coordinate with floodplain managers, city 
planners, administrators, and local elected officials 
to ensure that structures built in flood-prone areas 
comply with building and elevation codes and regula-
tions that are designed to reduce their risk of dam-
age from flooding; and 
(4) prioritize increased mitigation funding 
through new and existing programs to help commu-
nities better prepare for future flood disasters before 
they happen.
