Elevated structures
Floodplain management involves regulating and controlling development within flood-prone areas to reduce the risks of flooding. This may include zoning laws, building codes, and infrastructure projects to mitigate flood damage.
Stormwater management involves managing the runoff of rainwater to reduce flooding, erosion, and water pollution. This can involve constructing retention ponds, permeable pavement, and green infrastructure to capture and filter stormwater.
Elevated structures are buildings or infrastructure built above ground level to reduce the risk of damage from floods or storm surges. This can include elevated homes, boardwalks, and bridges that are designed to withstand flooding events.
