- Authors
LEHRER, ELI
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the U.S. Biggert-Waters Act and the role of SmarterSafer.org in aiding the U.S. Congress to pass the Act. The Act helps in raising insurance premiums for flood insurance at below-market rates, establishes procedures to ameliorate maps used to define flood rates, and provide private industry to begin calculating flood insurance risk. It also reflects on lessons for environmental activists and free-market conservatives.
