Before Flooding
We can reduce, eliminate, redirect, and avoid disastrous effects of flooding through hazard mitigation.

After Flooding
After any type of flood event, municipalities are required to conduct inspections of affected structures.
These inspections must determine if damages equal 50 percent or more of a structure's fair market value. If the 50-percent threshold is met, the structure must come into full compliance with the floodplain ordinance.
This is a specific assessment unique to floodplain management, and is not the same thing as an emergency management-related assessment, although those may occur concurrently.
