Flooding is the #1 natural hazard to effect PA and one that is being amplified by the threat of climate change, specifically with increased rainfall and more severe storms. In this session, participants will gain a better understanding of how floodplain regulations apply to every municipality in Pennsylvania. This session will provide an overview on NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program), how to read FEMA flood maps, review the minimum State model ordinance regulations, and share examples of floodplain management in land conservation.
