§ 12683 Flood Control Cooperation Assurances

Key Takeaways

  • •Los Angeles County has to promise the U.S. government they will help with flood control projects.
  • •This promise is needed to get federal money and support for flood control plans.
  • •The county must follow rules from two old U.S. laws from 1941 and 1944 to get this help.

Example

Imagine a big storm is coming, and the river might flood houses. The county wants the U.S. government to help build stronger walls to stop the water.

The county has to promise they will do their part, like paying some of the cost or giving land for the project. If they don’t promise, the government won’t help.
