They can open a floodplain area for public use.

Explanation: Mitigation actions (e.g., buyouts, removing structures, creating greenways or parks) can convert flood-prone land to recreational or conservation uses. The other choices are incorrect: mitigation doesn’t eliminate storms, usually has maintenance costs, and doesn’t necessarily lower taxes.
