<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />structural actions usually involve removing people and/or structures from the risk without <br />physically altering the floodplain. Actions include regulation of new development, the adoption <br />and enforcement of specific building code requirements, floodproofing of existing buildings, <br />relocation of structures to safer sites, acquisition of floodplain (including buildings) for open <br />space or other appropriate land uses, public education, flood warning systems and emergency <br />response programs. New development is regulated in Walsh through a floodplain ordinance <br />adopted on June 30, 1976. The ordinance contains provisions which are set forth in FEMA's <br />model ordinance for approximate floodplains (Ordinance A). <br /> <br />Colorado communities interested in examining or pursuing possible floodplain management <br />alternatives should contact the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Knowing the full range of <br />alternatives can allow a community to develop a program that best addresses its particular flood <br />and storm drainage situation. <br /> <br />b:fpiwalsb.rpt <br />
