100 year flood scenarios for Atwater Village and Elysian Valley by USACE Federally backed mortgages required to have flood insurance. We should be planning evacuation and disaster plans for communities first. Save People not Property. Or is future of river redevelopment about creating a higher property assessment now to help justify EIFD later. Seems odd roll out after hesco barriers install to protect property. Just fix levees, dredge legally, manage arundo, create more parks and open space that can absorb and return water to aquifiers. The byproduct of this is you have an incredible ecosystem and people based river.
