| Mitigation is the ongoing effort to lessen the impact disasters have on people's lives and property through damage prevention and flood insurance. The impact on people and communities is lessened through measures such as, building safely within the floodplain or removing homes altogether, and creating and enforcing effective building codes to protect property from floods and other natural hazards.
What can you do to lessen the impact of flood disasters on your house? Purchase flood insurance. Elevate or move your house above the floodplain Elevate electrical components in your house above the floodplain. Place the furnace in your house above the floodplain. Put your washer and dryer in your house above the floodplain. Multi-Hazard Mititgation Planning Guidance October 2006
