The Federal Government in its flood insurance program <br />(Appendix B) and the Orange County Flood Control District are <br />using a 100 year frequency flood. The Flood }~zard Map (Appendix <br />C), however, illustrates the extent of a standard project flood <br />(every 200 years). This map was produced by the Army Corps of <br />Engineers for the Flood Insurance Program administered by <br />H.U.D. <br /> <br />As protection against a 25 to 30 year flood is no longer <br /> <br />deemed sufficient, the City should take steps to enter into <br />the National Flood Insurance Program. Not only will there be <br />a reduction in costs to life and property but the City will <br />receive guidance from the Flood Insurance Administrator in <br />proper land use and controls in flood hazard areas. <br /> <br /> Objectives <br /> <br /> · To provide for the continued development and improve- <br /> ment of the Orange County Flood Control District <br /> facilities, and related City facilities. <br /> <br /> · To develop programs for preserving and enhancing the <br /> beauty and usefulness of flood control channels and <br /> levees. <br /> <br /> · To provide the community with more adequate protec- <br /> tion against the loss of life and property due to <br /> future flooding. <br /> <br /> <br />
