Flood Prevention and Snowpack Management Act

This bill, introduced by Representative Josh Harder, would direct the Secretary of the Army to establish a federal task force specifically focused on managing the California snowpack and mitigating flood risks. The task force would be responsible for coordinating efforts between federal and state agencies to better predict and respond to potential flooding caused by melting snow.

For citizens, this legislation aims to improve public safety and protect property by modernizing how the government monitors water levels and prepares for seasonal flood threats. If enacted, it could lead to more accurate flood warnings and more efficient water management strategies for communities that rely on or are impacted by the Sierra Nevada snowpack.
