DESCRIPTION
As a floodplain manager, the post-disaster environment is definitely the most challenging. In addition to juggling a seemingly endless number of responsibilities, the hours are long, the working conditions are tough and emotions are high. Yet it is at this time that floodplain managers help set the stage for successful hazard mitigation and future community resilience. What are the key responsibilities of the local floodplain manager? What actions need to be done first? What are the most important? What approaches are successful?
This webinar helps answer these critical questions. The instructor, Maria Cox-Lamm, who is the state floodplain manager of South Carolina has just been through four years of back to back flooding, advising local floodplain managers as to their core responsibilities and tips for being successful post-disaster.
