Let's double-check the assignments based on typical responsibilities regarding flood damage prevention measures:
Federal Government
- Maintenance of Dams: Often overseen by federal regulations.
- Designation of Flood Plains: Generally falls under federal guidelines and programs.
- Buying Flood Insurance: National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is federally managed.
City/County Government
- Drainage Ditch Maintenance: Typically managed at the local government level.
- Storm Water Retention Pond Requirements/Maintenance: Often regulated by city or county ordinances.
Home/Property Owners
- Relocating the Hot Water Heater to a Higher Place in Home: A personal responsibility to protect property from flooding.
So my original classifications should be accurate based on the general understanding of these responsibilities. If you have specific guidance or criteria for assigning these measures, please let me know!
