Protect existing development in flood-prone areas. These include elevating or floodproofing the structure to at least one foot above the published base flood elevation (BFE) and/or constructing local flood control structures to protect properties. Residents may also be encouraged to obtain an elevation certificate and purchase flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP); although this does nothing to reduce flood risk, it can help homeowners better understand their flood risk and protect against some financial losses in the event of flood damage.
