Best Practices success story process to collect and disseminate
information describing successful mitigation and flood insurance
practices occurring in communities nationwide. Title 44 CFR part 2

through the availability of information regarding such. By making this

mitigation strategies that have been successfully implemented and
provide real-world evidence of the ability to protect against all
hazards.
