- The Horry County Flood Resilience Plan includes:
- Long term strategies on flood prevention and mitigation
- Recommendations on buy-out prioritization
- Reuse strategies for buy-out properties
- An analysis of the Florence flood to compare base flood elevation against FEMA established base flood elevation to provide platform for policy revisions to enable more resilient development typologies
