In this 1-hour course, we’ll identify FEMA, NFIP, ASCE, ICC and Building Code Standards that pertain to flood hazard areas. The goal is to review the potential risk associated with building in the floodplain and the mitigation steps you can take to protect structures and maintain business continuity. After the training, attendees should have a thorough understanding of the floodproofing options available as well as the recent updates and changes in the world of floodplain design.
