Inventory and analyses of information for flood plain management in North Dakota

Governmental units that have been identified as having flood hazard areas but do not have detailed base flood information are required to use the "best available data" to regulate new development or expansion of existing development in flood prone areas. Information for flood plain management has been identified for 95 governmental units in North Dakota and includes the determination of what data are available regarding flood hazards, hydraulics, and hydrology, and a review of these data to determine their adequacy for use in flood plain management.
