This workshop will have two concurrent tracks: 1) Planning for Community Resiliency, and 2) Code Enforcement for Flood Resilience.
Track 1: Planning for Community Resiliency will help communities plan for an uncertain future. Attendees will gain an understanding of potential extreme weather impacts, and other threats, in their region, understand the tools necessary to help them identify risks, and manage and plan for the future.
Track 2: Code Enforcement for Flood Resilience will help Code Enforcement Officers better understand Elevation Certificates, Post-Disaster Floodplain Administrator Response, and the interaction between foundation and flood vents.
