Generally these actions fall into two classes, structural <br />actions and non-structural actions. Structural actions involve the construction of facilities to <br />separate floodwaters from property that is at risk. They include construction of improved <br />channels, enlargement of crossing structures (bridges and culverts), levees and f1oodwalls, <br />reservoirs and ponds to detain floodwaters and diversion channels and pipes to direct waters <br />elsewhere. Non-structural actions usually involve removing people and/or structures from the <br />risk area without physically altering the floodplain. Actions include regulation of new <br />development, the adoption and enforcement of specific building code requirements, <br />f1oodproofing of existing buildings, relocation of structures to safer sites, acquisition of <br />floodplain (including buildings) for open space or other appropriate land uses, public education, <br />flood warning systems and emergency response programs. <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 />12 <br />
