Regulatory changes in the management and development of floodplains and adjacent land areas are coming, and the implications for local governments and property owner alike will be significant. With the growing recognition that the alterations of floodplains may affect listed species and associated critical habitat, FEMA and NOAA/NMFS will soon require significant revisions of city and county floodplain regulations to minimize and compensate for such impacts.
This program will provide public sector representatives, property owners, development consultants/attorneys and others with interests with the information essential to the management and development of these areas.
