From the NYTimes: As Climate Toll Grows, FEMA Imposes Limits on Building in Flood Plains. New restrictions are meant to reduce damage during floods. The rules were first proposed in 2016, then the Trump administration scrapped them.

“We are going to be able to put a stop to the cycle of response and recovery, and rinse and repeat,” Deanne Criswell, the FEMA administrator, said during a call with reporters. The new rule will “enhance resilience in flood-prone communities, by taking future flood risk into consideration when we rebuild,” she said.
