E194 - Advanced Floodplain Management Concepts

This course consists of four modules:

1. NFIP Floodplain Rules and Regulations in Depth.
2. LOMC - Procedures for Applying and Floodplain Management Implications.
3. Roles and Responsibilities of the Local Floodplain Manager.
4. Preparing for Post-Disaster Responsibilities.

Each of these topics is designed to be at a higher level of detail than any basic course. Developed and real-life scenarios will be examined and exercises will be conducted in each section to make sure participants not only understand the appropriate rules and regulations, but also why they are in effect and how to apply them. This course is exercise rich and participants can expect to be engaged throughout much of the course.
