A bipartisan group of House members have relaunched the Flood Resilience Caucus to bolster preparedness and improve coordination.
Lawmakers said the relaunch was in response to the deadly Texas floods in July and will focus on strengthening critical infrastructure and creating long-term policy solutions to protect coastal communities and other high-risk areas.
The caucus will be co-led by Reps. Lizzie Fletcher (D-Texas), Randy Weber (R-Texas), Troy Carter (D-La.) and Mike Ezell (R-Miss.).

“It is critical that Congress works to protect communities across the country from the devastating impacts of flooding,” Fletcher said in a statement.
