Flood risk management in the United States is spread across multiple agencies and the federal, state, and local levels of government. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA are the two federal agencies with key responsibilities for managing and mitigating flood risks. Over the past three years, these two agencies have developed programs to work together and in close collaboration with representatives of non-federal agencies. The aim is to improve public safety and reduce flood damages in the context of a comprehensive watershed approach by improving communication and collaboration between federal agencies and other levels of government.
