Flood Control Act

The Flood Control Act is a federal law enacted to manage and reduce flooding risks across the United States. It authorizes the government to build infrastructure like dams, levees, and channels to prevent flood damage to homes, businesses, and land. The Act also funds flood management projects and encourages planning to protect communities from water-related disasters. Its goal is to improve safety, reduce economic losses, and promote sustainable land use in flood-prone areas through coordinated federal and local efforts.
