Floodplain management is a community-based effort to prevent or reduce the risk of flooding, resulting in a more resilient community. Multiple groups with a stake in protecting their communities from flooding carry out floodplain management functions including planning, zoning, building code enforcement, public utilities, emergency management and other local/regional officials.
DCR’s Floodplain Management Program will be holding a series of trainings in Southwest VA covering the Community Flood Preparedness Fund, the expansion of flood planning and resiliency efforts across the state, identifying community needs for capacity, planning and studies, steps to develop a Resilience Plan, and how to apply for funding.
An overview of future training opportunities for floodplain staff to become certified Floodplain Managers will also be covered.
***MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED***
