ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:


This is the first webinar sponsored by the National Hydrologic Warning Council (NHWC) whose mission is to support emergency and floodplain managers, and others in their understanding and use of real-time, quality hydrologic information from automated remote systems for the protection of lives, property, and the environment.

Certified Floodplain Managers (CFMs) who participate in the webinar will earn one Core Continuing Education Credit (CEC).
 

The webinar agenda will include:
 

  • Welcome and Introductions
  • Background to the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) 600 Series: Warning and Response
  • Proposed changes to the CRS Manual credits for flood warning & response, levees, and dams
  • Linkages between floodplain management and emergency management
  • What qualifies a Flood Warning System for earning CRS credits?
Participants will gain knowledge that will increase their ability to help protect people and property from flood hazards. The communities, where participants live and work, will benefit from the added safety and resiliency. These communities will also gain economically as the various activities described in the training are implemented, credits are attained, and flood insurance premiums are reduced.
