These contributions are specifically for the purpose of mitigating the risk of flooding on local property situated adjacent to Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities, explicitly including risks associated with rising sea levels . Furthermore, the legislation mandates that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs submit a comprehensive report to Congress within two years of enactment. This report must include an assessment of the flood risk for each VA medical facility and determine whether additional resources are required to effectively address these identified risks.
