Strengthen regulatory flood risk reduction measures. Continued enforcement of the Lummi Flood Damage Prevention Code (LCL Title 15A) in special flood hazard areas (SFHA) and participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the NFIP’s Community Rating System (CRS) are necessary for effective floodplain management on the Reservation. However, as the flood regime changes, regulatory measures will need to be strengthened and augmented to reflect the increased risk. Examples of more protective regulations include: (1) increasing building elevation requirements from a 1 foot freeboard to a 3 foot freeboard, (2) adopting a more protective building code such as the International Building Code rather than the currently adopted Uniform Building Code, (3) requiring relocation of critical facilities outside of the SFHA, and (4) prohibiting new development in some high hazard areas and restricting development in other flood-prone areas to flood compatible land uses unless there is no practicable alternative.
