Flooding and Natural Hazard, into Chapter 27, <br /> the County's Floodplain Management law <br /> • requiring the creation of an integrated electronic informational database that will accessible to all County agencies and <br /> the general public. <br /> • requiring 30-year old flood maps to be updated and expanded to include not only FEMA flood channels, but numerous <br /> maukalmakai "historic ditches' that only flow intermittently during high rainfall events. <br /> 5/15/2007 Ref. zrti- <br /> <br />
