WASHINGTON – Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) issued the following statement upon passage of H.R. 2901, the Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act:
“As residents of the Fourth District found out last year, floods can wreak devastation in a short amount of time and leave lasting damage,” Westerman said. “The Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act would put the tools in place for better flood insurance coverage for thousands of at-risk Arkansans, including the introduction of private insurers in the flood insurance marketplace. It is a winning solution for residents who want protection from a flooding disaster without extravagant costs.”
