Background: While some of the tribes located along the Colorado River do have land use and zoning regulations, the majority have not developed floodplain management policies. Floodplain manage- ment achieves or strives for appropriate land use through a mixture of traditional nonstructural measures (such as: land use adjust- ments, flood warning systems, zoning, land acquisition, natural parks, greenbelts or recreational areas) and structural measures (such as: retention reservoirs, levees, or diversion structures). Protection and enhancement of the natural floodplain resource will help eliminate future disasters. The Bureau of Indian Affairs will coordinate with the Tribes to encourage adoption of floodplain management policies and plans. Advice on appropriate types of floodplain management measures can be provided as necessary from the following agencies: FEMA, the Bureau of Reclamation (DOl), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (DA), Soil Conservation Service (USDA).
