(A) It shall be the county’s policy to continue participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. Participation in this Program allows local residents potentially affected by flooding to purchase insurance. Development planning policies will require the protection of stream corridors with construction standards for any development that is permitted within the floodplain.
(B) Detailed maps prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may be reviewed at the County Clerk’s office. Development in these areas not only exposes its occupants to a natural hazard, but may increase flood damages downstream.
