Flooding is the most common and costly natural disaster in the United States, and its financial toll often falls heavily on taxpayers. At Taxpayers for Common Sense, we work to ensure that disaster spending, particularly related to flooding, is both fiscally responsible and effective in reducing future risks. By advocating for smarter policies, such as improved floodplain management, risk-based insurance rates, and investments in mitigation, we aim to break the cycle of repeated damage and costly rebuilding. Our efforts focus on protecting taxpayer dollars while promoting resilient infrastructure and sustainable development practices that safeguard communities from the increasing threats posed by climate change.
