Floodplain management is the operation of a community program of corrective and preventative measures for reducing flood damage. These measures take a variety of forms and generally include zoning, building, public works requirements, and special-purpose floodplain ordinances.

For any projects in the floodplain, please start by contacting the Planning Department first.
