Gus Bilirakis: Audit FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program

U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., introduced a bill on Tuesday authorizing the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit FEMAs National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

The Flood Insurance Integrity Act will require a review of the NFIP, and will provide transparency and shed much needed light on how flood rate maps are updated, Bilirakis said on Tuesday. The NFIP must be administered with integrity.

This is a good government bill, Bilirakis added. Americans who need flood insurance should be able to know how those costs are calculated. My legislation guarantees oversight and transparency the American people deserve nothing less.
