Once FEMA provides a community with the flood hazard information upon which floodplain management regulations are based, the community is required to adopt a floodplain management ordinance that meets or exceeds the minimum NFIP requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, FEMA can:

Select one: a. actually do nothing to them b. suspend communities from the Program c. impose fines for the community d. imprison the community leaders for 30 days
