Bill > HR8882

This bill, the Flood Level Observation, Operations, and Decision Support Act (FLOODS Act), establishes a National Integrated Flood Information System within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to improve flood forecasting, early warning, and information-sharing. Key provisions include enhancing observations and modeling for total water prediction, designating service coordination hydrologists at River Forecast Centers to support decision-making, improving NOAA's communication of flood risks and warnings, assessing the availability of snow-related data for flood prediction, and making flood-related data freely accessible to the public. The bill also establishes an Interagency Coordinating Committee on Water Management to improve coordination across federal agencies on water-related matters.
