\nIMPACT: A TOOLKIT TO COMMON SENSE FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT\u201d –
\nhttps:\/\/www.msema.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/NAI_Toolkit_2003.pdf
\nCOMPLETE THE TASKS AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN WRITING, FILL
\nIN THE BLANKS PROVIDED IN THE MATRIX:
\n1) Lookup the property at 6880 Q Street in Omaha on https:\/\/msc.fema.gov\/portal. What
\nflood zone is it in? Using the Flood Insurance Study (pdf page 35), what is the base
\nflood elevation (1% chance annual flood) for the building at cross section I? How far
\naway is the building from the floodway?
\n2) No Adverse Impact is an approach to address the shortcomings of the typical floodplain
\nmanagement program that ensures the action of any community or property owner,
\npublic or private, do not adversely impact the property and rights of another. What are
\nsome of the ways that minimum floodplain management allows impacts to occur?
\n3) What concepts does \u201csustainable development\u201d recognize?
\n4) How does development in a watershed, but outside of the floodplain exacerbate flooding
\nproblems?
\n5) Read the NAI Toolkit chapters and fill in the missing blanks in the matrix below:
