<br />Attachment #29 <br /> <br />SUGGESTED CATEGORY GROUPINGS <br /> <br />The subject headings listed below are the categories under which <br />the various Hazard Mitigation Team recommendations are grouped. <br />No category is listed by order of importance and none is meant to <br />be presented in isolation from the rest. <br /> <br />A. Identification and Regulation: The evaluation of land-use <br />codes and design and construction standards. It also <br />involves floodplain mapping and the delimiting of inundation <br />zones. <br /> <br />B. Minimizing Flood Recurrence: Any flood-lessening measure as <br />opposed to actions that attempt to accommodate flooding. <br />Examples include: dam safety and inspection programs; <br />streambank and channel clearing; slope reductions; and debris <br />removal. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />C. Hazard Warning and Education: Includes warning and <br />evacuation plans and activities such as practice alerts, <br />public meetings, and lenders' seminars. <br /> <br />D. Structural/Nonstructural Measures: Any approach that <br />addresses the inevitability of flooding and offers a degree <br />of physical protection. This involves elevation, <br />floodproofing and/or conversion of structures, acquisition, <br />and relocation. <br />
