The Natural Hazards Center, in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is pleased to invite you to the Making Mitigation Work Webinar Series. These free one-hour webinars feature innovative speakers and highlight recent progress in mitigation policy, practice, and research.
Please join us on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, from 11:00 to 12:00 p.m. MDT for The Future is Here: New Flood-Resilient Building Standards Raise the Bar for Risk Protection.
Attendees will learn how to access the new design standard, tools to apply it, and ways to stay engaged with the National Initiative to Advance Building Codes. Join John Ingargiola of FEMA’s Building Sciences Branch as he discusses how the new standard is a recipe for flood resilient design, blending ingredients that include considerations for higher recurrence intervals, expanding floodplains, and sea level rise.
This webinar is eligible for one contact hour of emergency management training within the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) certification program OR one continuing education credit under the Association of State Floodplain Managers Certified Floodplain Manager Program. You can visit the Natural Hazards Center website to learn more about how to receive continuing education credits.
We hope to see you on September 13! And don’t forget to sign-up for additional resources and webinar updates.
Sincerely,
The Natural Hazards Center Team
