The Flood Prevention Act of 2024 amends the Coastal Zone Management Act to make the District of Columbia eligible for federal funding that was previously available only to states and U.S. territories. This change would allow Washington D.C. to access grants and other financial support for coastal zone management programs, flood prevention initiatives, and related environmental projects. The bill, introduced in January 2024, is a straightforward modification to existing law with no specified funding amounts or implementation timelines mentioned in the legislation. The measure primarily affects D.C. residents and government by opening access to federal resources for managing flood risks and coastal environmental challenges that the nation's capital faces.
