What is considered a violation in floodplain management?

Building without a permit
Failing to comply with floodplain ordinances
Not having flood insurance
Disagreeing with FEMA

The correct answer is: Failing to comply with floodplain ordinances

Failing to comply with floodplain ordinances is considered a violation in floodplain management because these ordinances are put in place to regulate and control development in flood-prone areas. Building without a permit (option A) can also be a violation, but it is not specific to floodplain management and can apply to any type of construction. Not having flood insurance (option C) is not necessarily a violation, but it is a recommended precaution for those living in floodplains. Disagreeing with FEMA (option D) is not a violation, but rather a difference in opinion or stance on floodplain management practices.
