Unified National Program for Floodplain Management.

摘要

The report seeks wise decisions and management for the Nation's floodplains to reduce losses of life and property from flooding and losses of natural and beneficial floodplain values from unwise land use. A conceptual framework is set forth to provide general guidance for the decisionmaking processes of Federal State, and local officials as well as for private parties. The strategies and tools for flood loss mitigation and for the preservation and restoration of natural floodplain values are presented in detail. Actions are recommended to facilitate the coordination of management programs dispersed among all levels of governments.
