Floodplain Training

Floodplain Session at OEP Planning & Zoning Conference on May 11, 2013

NH Floodplain Management Program staff will be presenting a session called "Promoting Floodplain Management: What Your Community Can Do" at the OEP Planning and Zoning Conference that will be held on May 11, 2013 at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester. Online registration opens March 21, 2013 on OEP's website.

Learn how your community can better protect its floodplain areas and provide long-term flood risk reduction. This session will highlight various higher standards that small or large communities can implement that go beyond the National Flood Insurance Program minimum requirements, which can then result in reduced flood damages and flood insurance premiums. Also, learn what other New Hampshire communities are already doing to reduce their flood risks and the tools and resources that are available to help your community.
