<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Floodplain Manal!:ement Alternatives <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 area 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 lands (including buildings) for open <br />space or other appropriate land uses, public education, flood warning systems and emergency <br />response programs. <br /> <br />Colorado communities interested in exammmg 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 and <br />storm drainage situation. <br /> <br />6 <br />
