Senator Dean Heller of Nevada contacted Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee Chairman Mike Crapo and Ranking Member Sherrod Brown, to encourage them to work toward reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program. In his letter, Heller urges the consideration of measures to help more Nevadans gain access to flood insurance, and protect Nevada’s taxpayers from financial risk, including the consideration of his Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act. He says it defines acceptable private flood insurance and will provide more flood insurance options for homeowners and businesses to choose from.
