This document outlines 12 flood mitigation strategies for LaSalle County, focusing on a comprehensive approach to reduce the adverse impacts of flooding and other natural hazards. Key strategic pillars include enforcing regulations in floodplains, restricting construction that exacerbates flood risks, promoting regional floodplain management, and developing a regional stormwater management ordinance. The plan also prioritizes educating citizens and decision-makers on natural hazards, encouraging conservation development, adopting stricter building codes, fostering regional collaboration, participating in the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System, examining rural stormwater infrastructure, and developing public educational materials. The intended outcomes are increased public awareness and preparedness, enhanced safety, and the promotion of sustainable development practices within the county and surrounding region.
