The 20th annual conference of the North Carolina Association of FloodPlain Managers (NCAFPM) meets between Sunday, May 3rd and Wednesday, May 6th in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. The conference is an opportunity to get up to date on any changes to the National Flood Insurance Program, especially as it pertains to North Carolina, which is one of the few states to manage program implementation itself instead of FEMA. The program is highly dependent upon accurate and up-to-date mapping of flood risks, which is where I have usually been involved. In areas of repetitive and/or catastrophic loss, it is also highly dependent upon mitigation, which I have also dabbled in. Of course, the conference is also a chance to network, so, if you’re going, I hope to see you there!
