On the recordJuly 23, 1998
I want to raise an issue related to a component of the bill before us today, the Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA]. On July 6, residents of my district and five adjacent districts in Los Angeles County came under a mandate to purchase flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program administered by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This has caused a spirited debate within the region as to the necessity for this insurance and the accuracy of the maps of the Los Angeles County Drainage Area, which includes the Los Angeles River, the Rio Hondo River, and the San Gabriel River. Those maps simply are not accurate, and yet one has to purchase insurance based on those maps.
