Other preventive measures <br />include subdivision regulations, building codes, health <br />regulations, development policies, tax adjustments, <br />warning signs; and flood insurance. Corrective measures <br />are often required to alleviate existing flood prOblems <br /> <br />and forestall future problems. Other corrective measures <br />include watershed' treatment; evacuation, flood fore. <br />casting, and urban redevelopment. Preventive and cor- <br />rective measures may be used by themselves or in vary- <br />ing combinations to meet the specific needs of a par- <br />ticular flood prone area. Public support is necessary to <br />obtain needed flood damage reduction through flood <br />plain management measures. <br />
