The LGC is assisting DCR in holding a one-day workshop to introduce local officials to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) staff and provide important training on the updated floodplain management requirements.
This will be a valuable workshop for floodplain administrators, emergency managers, planning/zoning administrators, planners, building officials, stormwater engineers, and engineering consultants as participants will be provided detailed information about the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), including detailed information on what is required of localities to be eligible for NFIP and what programs and disaster/mitigation funding is or is not available depending on locality NFIP participation, and what activities can reduce risk, damages, and costs associated with flooding.
