Study barriers to prioritizing high-hazard dam projects

Van Drew supports requiring FEMA to study barriers that prevent states from prioritizing dam projects with the greatest community benefit. The provision calls for a study, not a specific change to how states rank or fund projects.

Context: The provision was included in a committee-approved bill that had not yet received full House consideration.
