Floodplains 101: What you need to know about the floodplains in your community
Is there a waterbody that runs through, or near your community? In Michigan, more than 1,000 communities participate in the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and an even greater number have unmapped flood zones, yet every waterbody has the potential to flood.
This webinar is an opportunity to learn about floodplain management, the flood provisions in Michigan Building Codes, and EGLE’s Floodplain Authority found in state regulations. We will discuss what a floodplain is, what activities require a permit, floodplain development administrative responsibilities, and reviewing an Elevation Certificate.
This course is designed for anyone involved in development within your community such as supervisors, clerks, building officials and inspectors, engineers, and surveyors.
Building Officials and Inspectors, and others who qualify can earn 1 hour Rules and Acts credit toward Act 54 hours.
After registering, you will receive an email from “EGLE Outreach” with a link for you to use to join the webinar.
