Flood Control Act of 1934

The Flood Control Act of 1934 was an accidental creation based on a typographical error . The reference should be to the Flood Control Act of 1936, Pub.L. 74–738 . The 1934 date referenced in the 2003 textbook was a typographical error that went uncorrected through several editions. Countless references to it were made (including on the FEMA training pages). It was first identified during fact-checking of another manuscript in 2013, and corrected in time for the 2014 publication.
