1976年FEMA的一条规则无意中阻断了威斯康辛农村地区和全国减少洪水的湿地恢复。 A 1976 FEMA rule unintentionally blocks flood-reducing wetland restoration in rural Wisconsin and nationwide.

1976年的FEMA规则,即“无危机”规定,无意间使威斯康辛农村和美国各地的洪水恶化,阻碍湿地恢复和其他可以降低洪水风险的环境项目,即使这些项目不增加水量。 A 1976 FEMA rule, the "no-rise" provision, is unintentionally worsening floods in rural Wisconsin and across the U.S. by blocking wetland restoration and other environmental projects that could reduce flood risks, even when they don’t increase water volume. 该规则最初旨在限制在洪泛平原的建筑,现在把生态恢复视为发展,停止改善水质和抗御能力的努力。 Originally meant to limit construction in floodplains, the rule now treats ecological restoration as development, halting efforts to improve water quality and resilience. 在威斯康辛州的Barre Mills等地,尽管有科学证据表明,恢复洪泛平原会减少洪水,但保护项目却被放弃。 In places like Barre Mills, Wisconsin, conservation projects are being abandoned despite scientific evidence that restoring floodplains reduces flooding. 专家及立法者表示, 规则已过时且有害, 但FEMA未回应评论请求, Experts and lawmakers say the rule is outdated and harmful, but FEMA has not responded to requests for comment, leaving the policy unchanged as flood risks grow.
