Ways that impacts may be reduced include protecting the structure or other affected development from flood damages, implementing the enforcement provision of the ordinance or otherwise deterring future similar violations, or reducing Federal financial exposure with regard to the structure or other development.\n\nNational Flood Insurance Program Requirements\n\n• 59.1 - Definition\n\n• 59.22 (b) - Requirement to Remedy to the Maximum Extent Possible",
