What federally funded assistance is intended to prevent and resolve floodplain management issues?

Community Rating System assistance
Community Assistance Program (CAP)
National Flood Insurance Program assistance
Hazard Mitigation Assistance

The correct answer is: Community Assistance Program (CAP)

The federally funded assistance intended to prevent and resolve floodplain management issues is provided through the Community Assistance Program (CAP). This program provides technical and financial assistance to communities to help them reduce flood risks and manage floodplain areas. Option A, Community Rating System assistance, is incorrect because this program is only available to communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is also known as option C. Option D, Hazard Mitigation Assistance, is incorrect because it covers a wider range of hazards, not just flood-related ones. While the NFIP does provide assistance for floodplain management, it is not the primary source of assistance for this purpose. Ultimately, the Community Assistance Program is the most appropriate and targeted option for federally funded assistance to address floodplain management issues.
