I want to ask a difficult question. Here is a topographic map of the Asheville District. This, Swannanoa River Road, and other areas look like they were low enough to be flooded. What does it mean for city planning for areas like this to be vulnerable? Do large areas need to be set aside for drainage and flood events? I live near Chicago, and huge areas near the Chicago, Des Plaines, and Fox rivers would need to be set aside.
