<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />County was participating in the NFIP. Pueblo County entered the regular program of the NFIP on <br />September 29, 1989. Communities that are participants have done so by adopting floodplain <br />regulations, adopting an NFIP map (if one exists) and agreeing to cooperate with the federal <br />government in the local implementation of the NFIP. Property owners and occupants can then <br />contact an insurance agent familiar with the NFIP (perhaps their own agent) and purchase insurance <br />through that agent, much like they would purchase homeowner's insurance. Brochures and other <br />information regarding the National Flood Insurance Program can be obtained by calling the <br />Regional Office of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in Denver at (303) 235- <br />4830. <br /> <br />Floodplain Manaeement Alternatives <br /> <br />Besides floodplain regulations and flood insurance, there are many actions that can reduce the risk <br />of flood damage in a community. Generally these actions fall into two classes, structural actions <br />and non-structural actions. Structural actions involve the construction of facilities to separate <br />floodwaters from property that is at risk. They include construction of improved channels, <br />enlargement of crossing structures (bridges and culverts), levees and floodwalls, reservoirs and <br />ponds to detain floodwaters and diversion channels and pipes to direct waters elsewhere. Non- <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 space <br />or other appropriate land uses, public education, flood warning systems and emergency response <br />programs. <br />
