Living on Flood Plains and Wetlands: A Homeowner’s Handbook

If you live on a flood plain or wetland, you know the potential dangers-to you, your family, and your home. A major flood could strike at any time, and you need to be prepared. But of even more immediate concern is the tiresome battle to keep your property free of minor floods and water seepage, which can be just as destructive-and costly-as a major flood. This all-purpose book guides you through the range of options you have to protect your property. And if a problem already exists, it shows you how to tackle the trouble and put your house back in order. The updated edition includes new information about flood plain laws and insurance as well as changes in government agency titles or roles in flood management.
