An ad hoc committee will organize a series of regional workshops or case studies to explore the issue of urban flooding in several metropolitan areas. The committee’s report will identify any commonalities and variances among these metropolitan areas in terms of causes, adverse impacts, unexpected problems in recovery, effective mitigation strategies, and key themes of urban flooding; provide an estimate of the size or importance of flooding in these urban areas; and relate, as appropriate, causes and actions of urban flooding to existing federal resources or policies.
