<strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>County</strong> – Section 3<br />
Rationale for Effectiveness<br />
(ex. low because allows<br />
development in floodplain)<br />
New construction and improvements are<br />
not allowed without extensive mitigation<br />
requirements. Any encroachments such as<br />
fill, new construction, or other<br />
developments within in the floodway must<br />
not create any increase in flood levels<br />
within the community during a base flood<br />
discharge.<br />
Requires 2 feet freeboard.<br />
Medium Consider more formal mutual aid<br />
agreements, improve the Emergency<br />
Operations Center, warning systems in rural<br />
areas, emergency response equipment,<br />
training for volunteer agencies and the<br />
private sector, and public preparedness<br />
education.<br />
Medium Stormwater runoff, sediment and erosion<br />
management provides effective measures to<br />
deal with increasing development trends.<br />
Medium The county has building inspectors that<br />
ensure construction is built to code.<br />
High The county administers and participates<br />
fully in the NFIP.<br />
levee districts Medium Coordination with county jurisdictions<br />
through US Corps of Engineers.
