Over the last year or so, FEMA has been updating the materials for the L-273 course, and Virginia was selected to pilot the updated materials! DCR is excited to be able to host the pilot course in Virginia, and we hope that you will attend and provide useful feedback to FEMA.
This training will cover the updated materials for the L-273 course and will be the first time it has been taught. FEMA staff from across the country will be in Virginia to teach the course. The is the first time this new material has been taught, but FEMA wants your feedback! After the pilot is offered, FEMA will use your feedback to make final updates to the course before it is launched at EMI and nationally.
The Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) exam will be offered on Friday, May 17, 2019 following this training. For more information, please click here.
