How Spending for Flood Adaptations Affects the Federal Budget

Congressional Budget Office

No 62554, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: Flooding is among the costliest natural disasters in the United States. Over the next few decades, damage from flooding is expected to worsen because of continued coastal development and changes in the climate. In this report, CBO examines how spending for flood adaptations today might affect the federal government's potential costs for disaster relief later, as well as what households are likely to pay for flood insurance that is subsidized by the federal government.
