After reviewing two core flood hazard mitigation policies within the United States-the 100-year standard and the National Flood Insurance Program-this discussion focuses upon policy recommendations for improving flood hazard mitigation in the US.

These hurdles are detailed and recommendations designed to overcome them are suggested.
