Introduction

Almost everyone knows that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers builds water resource projects.

Not so well known, however, is that the Corps also provides assistance to help States, Indian Tribes and local governments prepare their own plans and initiate their own actions to manage their water and related land resources.

This document describes two of the Corps most effective and efficient assistance programs:

Flood Plain Management Services

and

Planning Assistance to States

It explains what these programs can do and the types of information, technical services, and planning guidance they can provide to help others help themselves.

It also includes instructions on how to request assistance and a posting of the address and telephone number of the Corps office where assistance and additional information may be obtained.
