However, I have been informed that DHS has now issued new guidance that prevents FEMA from writing or renewing policies during the current government shutdown. I strongly disagree with this guidance as it incorrectly interprets congressional intent demonstrated last week with Congress passing legislation to keep the program operating until June 2019.I am asking OMB to reverse DHS actions and ensure Floridians can continue to obtain and maintain flood insurance.Timeline of Rubio's Efforts on the National Flood Insurance Program December 21, 2018 Rubio Welcomes Passage of Bill To Extend National Flood Insurance Program November 28, 2018Rubio Comments on NFIP Reauthorization November 15, 2018 Rubio Introduces Bill to Reauthorize National Flood Insurance Program for Six Months July 31, 2018 Rubio Comments on Senate Reauthorization of National Flood Insurance Program July 25, 2018 Rubio on National Flood Insurance Program: We Should Not Hold Floridians Hostage July 18, 2018 Rubio Video Statement: We need to extend NFIP now or it will be a disaster for Florida July 18, 2018 Rubio in Tampa Bay Times: Congress Needs Long-Term Solution for Flood Insurance Program June 21, 2018 Rubio Secures Funding for FEMA Pre-disaster Mitigation and Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis Programs in Appropriations Bill June 13, 2017 Rubio, Menendez, Colleagues Lead Bipartisan Flood Insurance Reform Bill June 13, 2017 Rubio in Wall Street Journal: A bipartisan plan for Flood Insurance February 28, 2017 Rubio Meets with Florida Legislative Leaders to Discuss Federal-State Issues, Including The National Flood Insurance Program | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
