We evaluated your emergency flood response <br /> plans, reviewed training and stockpiled supplies, availability of <br /> equipment and access for emergency operations. <br /> c. Listen to your concerns and provide technical assistance <br /> about how to operate and maintain your flood protection. <br /> The enclosed Inspection Report summarizes the findings of <br /> the inspection and lists both required and recommended corrective <br /> actions.
