Abstract
One means of protecting life and property from floods is a sound flood plain management program. The aim of such a program is planned, controlled flood plain development that recognizes the future flooding potential of flood plain lands. A flood plain management program can consist of flood control facilities, zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building and sanitary codes, open-space and public-land acquisition programs, and flood warning systems. The principal objective of flood plain management is the allocation of land to its most appropriate use from the viewpoint of the community and the State as a whole.
