This will ensure that Portlanders continue to receive relatively affordable flood insurance rates through the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program, while at the same time protecting salmon and steelhead in our rivers. We've just seen recent, devastating examples of floods just in the last few weeks in Texas, North Carolina, and New Mexico, with significant amounts of rain also causing danger and damage across the East Coast and in Chicago. Climate change makes flooding more likely and less predictable. While the amendment being considered by Portland City Council is not perfect, it includes helpful provisions that better protect endangered species and that simultaneously protect people and buildings from worse flooding. Enter your information and go to the next screen to send a letter to Portland City Council and the Mayor in support of agenda item 2025-217 and in opposition to industry attempts to weaken the amendment. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ban-tear-gas-in-portland
