 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Hazard Mitigation and Flood Damage Reduction Act of 1993 - Amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to increase from 50 to 75 percent of the cost of hazard mitigation measures the amount authorized to be contributed by the President when determined to be cost-effective while substantially reducing the damage or loss suffered in a major disaster. Increases the total Federal contributions authorized for damages from a major disaster to 15 percent of the estimated aggregate amounts of grants to be provided under such Act for such disaster.

Authorizes the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide property acquisition and relocation assistance for projects meeting specified requirements.

Directs the Secretary of the Army to conduct studies to: (1) assess national flood control and floodplain management policies; and (2) determine appropriate flood control measures on the Upper Mississippi and Lower Missouri rivers and their tributaries. Requires congressional reports after both studies.
