Climate-related disasters impact millions of Americans annually when roads wash out, power goes down, crops fail, and schools flood. The Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) was established to encourage federal agencies to consider and manage current and future flood risks. FFRMS requires agencies to prepare for and protect federally funded buildings and projects from flood risks. It requires agencies to determine specific federal building or project dimensions in order to manage and mitigate any current or potential flood risks.
