What options are available to comply?
There are four options a person can take to comply with a community’s floodplain management ordinance and help them reduce future flood damage. A person may decide which of these options is best for them. 1. Elevation. This raises a home or business to or above the flood protection elevation level adopted by the community. 2. Relocation. This moves a home or business out of harm’s way. 3. Demolition. This tears down and removes flood damaged buildings. 4. Floodproofing. This option is available primarily for non-residential buildings. It involves making a building watertight through a combination of adjustments or additions of features to the building that reduces the potential for flood damage.
