The IFMRC was created to determine the major causes and consequences of the 1993 Midwest Floods, evaluate the performance of existing floodplain managements and related management programs, make recommendations as to what changes in current policies, programs, and activities would most effectively achieve risk reduction, economic efficiency, and environmental enhancement in the floodplain and related watersheds, and identify legislative initiatives that might by proposed by the Clinton administration.
