Cedric Richmond Responds to FEMA Flood Rate Announcement | 2013-09-04 | 2013 | 2013-09 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | “FEMA’s announcement today was disheartening and confirms what I, my colleagues, and Louisiana’s homeowners have feared for months. These new rates will indeed have a crippling impact on too many of Louisiana’s homeowners. I call on my colleagues to respond with urgency and pass my bill, H.R. 2199, the Flood Insurance Implementation Reform Act of 2013, to protect homeowners from steep increases in flood insurance rates. The legislation has support from the entire Louisiana delegation and representatives nationwide. Louisianans and homeowners all across the nation desperately need us to address the crisis of flood insurance affordability. Moving forward, I am committed to working with FEMA and members on both sides of the aisle to find a sustainable, long-term solution.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
