3. COMMUNICATION, EDUCATION AND AWARENESS<br />
GOALS<br />
A community with a higher level of understanding and knowledge of<strong>floodplain</strong> isszies and<br />
management.<br />
A better informed communi@ will make better informed decisions relating to <strong>floodplain</strong><br />
matters.<br />
THE ISSUES<br />
Floodplain management processes are not properly understood or appropriately <strong>plan</strong>ned<br />
for by the community and all levels of government. The benefits of natural resource<br />
management projects are not readily accepted by the community or associated and<br />
identified with any particular group.<br />
Community groups and individuals are not well informed on <strong>floodplain</strong> general issues but<br />
know what happens on "their own patch" and who to "blame" when "out of the ordinary"<br />
circumstances arise.<br />
Communication and education are integral to all strategies.<br />
