This bill lets the Department of Veterans Affairs help pay local governments to reduce flooding on land next to VA hospitals and clinics. The goal is to keep care running during storms and protect nearby neighborhoods from flood damage. It also orders the VA to study flood risks at every VA medical site, including risks from rising sea levels, and say if more resources are needed. The report is due within two years after the bill becomes law.

• What changes: The VA can contribute money to local flood‑prevention projects near VA medical facilities; the VA must assess flood risk at each site and identify resource needs.
