<br />4[ <br /> <br />--. <br /> <br />A comprehensive ptogram of floodpl~ln management would <br />include: <br /> <br />1) Delineation of floodplains. <br /> <br />2) SubdIvisIon and zoning regulations for floodplaIn <br />areas. <br /> <br />3) Elimjn~tlon of hazardous land uses in the floodplaIn <br />through structural improvements (channelization, <br />levees, reservoirs), floodproofing, relocation out of <br />the floodplain or other floodplain management tech- <br />nIques. <br /> <br />4) Public education programs for those in floodplaIn <br />dreas. <br /> <br />5) Flood insurance to protect persons owning property <br />already in the floodplain <br /> <br />6) Emergency preparedness plans for flood disasters <br /> <br />FloodplaIn management encourages the reduction of future <br />development In floodprone areas; It encourages home and property <br />location and design to minimize damage; It encourages property <br />owners to fInd financial protcctlon to help with inevitable <br />losses; it encourages local programs to assure fast, efficient <br />rescue and clean-up operations. <br /> <br />Five years after the Big Thompson Flood we are reminded of <br />all of the flood disasters in Colorado and motivated to consIder <br />the role that a comprehensive program of floodplain management <br />would have in saving lIves, reducing property damage, and <br />reducIng publIc expenditures resulting from flood disasters. <br /> <br />BRH/gI <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />,,l'.
