[Westley Annis]

Fed Mgr report said:
2. Walker Recommends More Stringent Building Codes, Repossessing Properties
FEMA must continue to adopt and enforce more stringent building codes for
construction in areas at risk of flooding and stricter development and
zoning regulations that steer development away from flood areas, Walker also
said. 

He also said the agency should use public funds to acquire damaged homes or
businesses in flood-prone areas, demolish or relocate the structures, and
use properties for open space, wetlands, or recreational uses.
