  1. Many of us have advocated just such and we very much concur with your very well presented study and evaluation: Bravo!

    “As demonstrated by this freeboard scenario, the conclusive results of this study continue to
    demonstrate that higher floodplain regulations result in benefits reflected by a reduction in flood-related losses.

    Furthermore, jurisdictions not implementing higher regulatory standards may
    observe substantial increases in future flood losses”
