Mount Pleasant can act to lessen and eventually eliminate repetitive flood losses and <br />prevent future loss from inappropriate new development. <br />2. Communities that regulate development in floodplains are able to join the National <br />Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In return, the NFIP provides federally backed flood <br />insurance for properties in the community. Mount Pleasant has applied with FEMA to <br />participate in the NFIP. <br />Table 3: Flood Mitigation Strategies <br />Short Range (1— 2 year) <br />Responsible <br />Support <br />Priority <br />Schedule <br />Project <br />Strategies <br />Parties <br />Parties <br />Cost/Funding <br />CRS Activity Code <br />Sources <br />1.
