Description

Flood Insurance Rate Maps and River Corridor Maps are two primary tools used to avoid disaster and guide safe development. How can we tell what flood zone a building is in or where the river corridor is? What does flood insurance cost and when is it really needed? How can we use the best available information to protect our communities, friends, families, and sales? This workshop by Vermont DEC Rivers will discuss floodplain and river corridor maps as well as strategies for avoiding damage from flooding and erosion.
