reduction programs. With our most frequent and costly disasters being flood related, with more than 21,700 communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program and where Federal Law requires designated floodplain administrators there is need and demand for degree programs.
The Role of the Federal Interagency MR 17 Floodplain Management Task Force (Task Force) in Protecting and Restoring the Natural and Beneficial Functions of Floodplains
Presenter: John McShane, CFM, USEPA, Office of Water
Facilitator: Kimberly Berginnis, CFM, ASFPM NBF Committee Co-Chair; WEM, Mitigation Section
The dual goals of floodplain management are to reduce the loss of life and property caused by floods and to protect and restore the natural resources and functions of floodplains. The Task Force Work Plan includes a number of activities that address the latter. This session will first describe the Task Force activities and report on their status. Second, we will conduct a facilitated discussion with the audience participants on the challenges/barriers to achieving the goals of protecting and restoring the natural resources and functions of floodplains.
