    Advance Measures consists of those activities performed prior to a 

flood event, or potential flood event, to protect against loss of life 

and/or significant damages to improved property from flooding. Emergency 

work under this authority will be considered when requested by the 

Governor of a State confronted with an imminent threat of unusual 

flooding. Corps assistance will be to complement the maximum efforts of 

tribal, State, and local authorities. Projects will be designed for the 

specific threat, normally of expedient-type construction, and typically 

temporary in nature.
