This course is designed to provide an organized training opportunity for local officials responsible for administering their local floodplain management ordinance. The course will focus on the NFIP and concepts of floodplain management, maps and studies, ordinance administration, and the relationship between floodplain management and flood insurance.
The Association of State Flood Plain Managers (ASFPM) Certified Flood Manager (CFM) Exam will be offered on March 14. The CFM Exam requires a separate registration through ASFPM. You will need to apply for the exam and pay ASFPM directly. Follow this link to register for the CFM Exam: http://www.floods.org/index.asp?menuid=405&firstlevelmenuid=180&siteid=1
You do not have to take the course in order to take the exam, but the course will provide a good overview of the topics on the exam. Please complete the exam registration with ASFPM at least a few weeks before the exam, because if ASFPM does not have your registration and payment processed, you will not be able to take the exam.
