PART IV
OTHER HAZARD MITIGATION MEASURES

The fOllowing is a list of mitigation actions that were not
included in the Recommendations section for one or more of
the following reasons: the area of concern was adequately
covered and no opportunity for improvement existed; no con-
census could be reached on how the work element should be
stated; not enough time existed to adequately address the
action; the suggestion was furnished to the respective
assistance program staff; or the measure was a standard oper-
ating procedure.

1) that the adequacy of the current building codes
and land-use ordinances be evaluated with re-
spect to flood recovery;
2) that an on-going training program for all Hazard
Mitigation Team members (Federal and State) be
implemented;
3) that additional funding for Hazard Mitigation
activities be appropriated;
4) that standard floodproofing measures and actions
be used in the rebuilding of roads and bridges;
5) that all reconstruction dollars should summon
long-range planning desires;
6) that road-side and trail-side warnings of po-
tential dam failures be posted;
7) that all agencies concerned be aware that a wide
range of technical data, photographs, models,
interviews, chronologies, records, reports and
estimations is available from various agencies
that are investigating the dam failure and re-
sulting flood;
8) that state-of-the art debris rack technology
be investigated regarding cost-effectiveness;
and
9) that the Soil Conservation Service assistance
(sec. 216) for channel restoration in areas
where there is a threat to life and improved
property be pursued.
