Your are invited to attend the last in a summer series of four Natural Floodplain Function Alliance-sponsored webinars on floodplain issues: the Federal Interagency Floodplain Management Task Force Webinar, hosted by the Northeast-Midwest Institute. This webinar was originally scheduled to be held on August 23, but was postponed in the aftermath of the east coast earthquake.
The Federal Interagency Floodplain Management Task Force was authorized and established by Congress in 1975 to develop a “unified national program for floodplain management.” The Task Force works to advance that goal by promoting flood hazard mitigation and environmental stewardship of floodplains. This webinar will present an overview of the Task Force, its history, goals and objectives, and current activities. Presenters will include Pete Rabbon, Special Assistant on the National Flood Risk Management Program with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, John McShane, with the USEPA’s Office of Water, and Dave Stearrett, Chief, Floodplain Management Branch at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Title: Federal Interagency Floodplain Management Task Force Webinar
