                RECOGNIZING THE AMERICAN FLOOD COALITION

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the American Flood 
Coalition for 5 years of driving proactive solutions to combat 
flooding.
  During this time, the American Flood Coalition has brought together 
political, military, business, and local civic leaders to build 
resilience against stronger storms and more frequent flooding.
  In North Carolina's Fifth District, recent tropical storms have 
brought inches of rain in only a matter of hours, triggering 
destructive floods and landslides. These storms can leave behind 
millions of dollars in damages that burden communities for years.
  The American Flood Coalition works across all levels of government, 
supporting process improvements and projects that directly protect 
against such impacts while lifting the experiences and needs of members 
to drive transformational adaptation policy at the Federal level.
  Congratulations, American Flood Coalition, on 5 years of protecting 
our Nation's residents, economy, and military installations from 
flooding.
