These Guides are a series of How-To Guides that expand on the knowledge base within the No Adverse Impact Toolkit, a 108-page document prepared by the Association of State Floodplain Managers. The Toolkit is ASFPM’s reference on implementing the NAI approach. It identifies tools for incorporating NAI floodplain management into local regulations, policies and programs; while the How-To Guides break down, by subject matter, that information into compact, usable information communities can apply. The How-to Guides’ ultimate goals are to have communities take a different approach to managing development that prevents increasing flood risk, and to incorporate NAI concepts into other community activities.
