"Require disclosure of claims at the time of sale and provide claims data annually to communities." -Flood Control District in Arizona

"Ensure that FEMA flood maps, modeling and calculations take account of climate change. Take account of future development and land use change when creating and updating maps."  -Florida Resident

"Local level jurisdictions/agencies are responsible for implementing and enforcing regulations without dedicated sources of funding. They are working the duties into their existing work programs but I feel if you provided specific administrative monies, the agencies could dedicate additional personnel resources toward their program which aims to mitigate losses due to flooding." -Anonymous

"Let’s invest in improving the flood RESILIENCE of our communities. Residential structures can easily last 50 to 200 years. We need leaders that are interested in seeing that their communities are still viable and desirable places to live for the next 10 to 200 years. " -Anonymous
