E X T E N S I O N OF FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM TO COVER LOSSES FROM W A T E R CAUSED MUDSLIDES

SEC. 409. (a) Section 1302 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection: ^ ^ "(f) The Congress also finds that (1) the damage and loss which results from mudslides is related in cause and similar in effect to that which results directly from storms, deluges, overflowing waters, and other forms of flooding, and (2) the problems involved in providing protection against this damage and loss, and the possibilities for making such protection available through a Federal or federally sponsored program, are similar to those which exist in connection with efforts to l)rovide protection against damage and loss caused by such other foniis of flooding. I t is therefore the further purpose of this title to make available, by means of the methods, procedures, and instrumentalities which are otherwise established or available under this title for purposes of the flood insurance program, protection against damage and loss residting from mudslides that are caused by accumulations of water on or under the ground." (b) Section 1370 of such Act is amended by inserting " (a) after "SEC. 1370.", and by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection: "(b) The term 'flood' shall also include inundation from mudslides which are caused by accumulations of water on or under the ground; and all of the provisions of this title shall apply with respect to such mudslides in the same manner and to the same extent as with respect to floods described in paragraph (1), subject to and in accordance with such regulations, modifying the provisions of this title (including the provisions relating to land management and use) to the extent necessary to insure that they can be effectively so applied, as the Secretary may prescribe to achieve (with respect to such mudslides) the purposes of this title and the objectives of the program."
