ARCA Annual Meeting 36 <br /> December 14, 1993 <br /> 1 certain stage on the Arkansas and they know they are going to be in flood levels. The local <br /> Y <br /> 2 communities can pick up these reports and depending on the stage, they can correlate that to the <br /> 3 number of houses that are going to be flooded; those flooded homes are in the flood plain.
