2021 New York Laws ENV - Environmental Conservation Article 36 - Participation in Flood Insurance Programs 36-0101 - Declaration of Findings.

§ 36-0101. Declaration of findings.The legislature finds and declares that:1.  It  is  in the interest of the people of this state to provide for   participation in the national flood insurance program as enacted by  the   congress of the United States;2.  The  essence  of  the  national  flood  insurance  program  is the   regulation of land uses within areas identified by the director  of  the   federal  emergency  management  agency as areas of special flood hazard.   Land use regulation is principally a matter of local concern; therefore,   local  governments  have  the  principal  responsibility  for   enacting   appropriate  land  use  regulations that will meet federal standards and   permit the sale of flood insurance in such communities;3. Providing for the availability of flood insurance for all residents   of the state is the policy of the state; all local governments with land   use jurisdiction over any area of special flood hazard must comply  with   all  national flood insurance program requirements so that the residents   of such local communities may purchase flood insurance; and4. All publicly owned facilities within any identified area of special   flood hazard must be in compliance with  the  national  flood  insurance   program requirements.
