handle is hein.gao/gaobaayvf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Io6s UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION MARCH 22, 1979 B-167790 The Honorable Patricia Roberts Harris The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dear Mrs. Harris: The General Accounting Office recently completed a survey of Federal, State, and local efforts to reduce flood losses including certain aspects of the national flood insurance program. During the survey, we identified sev- eral issues which we believe warrant your attention. We found that --mapping program problems continue, --more emphasis is needed on flood plain management, --communities need more help to implement the program, ' --the 100-year flood plain standard needs 108865 to be evaluated, and --improvements are still needed in the monitoring program. This report presents our findings, conclusions, and recommended changes to the insurance program. It also con- firms the discussions we had with the Administrator and staff of the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) on November 30, 1978, and January 17, 1979. They told us that, based on the results of an internal task force study, the Administrator, FIA, decided in November 1978 to make several changes to improve the flood insurance program. Because these changes will affect the other areas we also found deficient, we do not plan any additional work. In about 6 months, we plan to make inquiries to determine the extent to which changes have been made. CED 79-58 (06805)
