    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.
