Scientific Flood Mapping Act

Summary

Scientific Flood Mapping Act This bill directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to jointly prepare a report describing the process by which FEMA shall transfer to the USGS all functions related to the preparation of flood maps as required under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 that FEMA was previously responsible for performing. FEMA must transfer such functions by 18 months after enactment of this bill. The bill changes the membership composition of the Technical Mapping Advisory Council.

FEMA shall deposit the fees collected into a Flood Insurance Risk Mapping Fund which shall be available to the USGS for mapping activities.
