Farmers Lifeline to Overcoming Disasters (FLOOD) Act

This bill, titled the Farmers Lifeline to Overcoming Disasters (FLOOD) Act, aims to enhance support for agricultural communities facing natural disasters. It achieves this by amending the Food Security Act of 1985 to expand the scope of the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).

Specifically, the legislation integrates emergency watershed protection measures, as outlined in the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978, into the RCPP. This amendment allows RCPP funds and partnerships to be utilized for critical emergency efforts to safeguard lives and property from floods and other natural disaster impacts, thereby strengthening disaster resilience and recovery for farmers.
