Give the Federal Government a Piece of Your Mind


Sounds appealing, right?


FEMA and partners from the State National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Coordinator offices are seeking just that kind of input.


Collectively, we all understand that managing floodplains can be a challenging task with many responsibilities and actions to coordinate. For this reason, FEMA’s Floodplain Management Division is seeking to redesign the agency’s trainings to better serve the needs of our nation’s 22,668 NFIP Floodplain Administrators and the Participating Communities they represent. To have a meaningful impact, FEMA needs your input.


Floodplain Administrators in NFIP Participating Communities have received a survey to comment on your training needs as well as the obstacles and barriers you face in trying to meet and manage floodplain activities.


The results of this survey will be used to design a national Floodplain Administrator training strategy created by FEMA. In addition, the data will be consolidated by state in a public report and will be shared with each State NFIP Coordinator


The survey is open from June 20-Aug. 30, 2024. Only one survey can be completed from each NFIP participating community. A community’s Floodplain Administrator should be the person filling out the survey.


The survey can be accessed in several ways:

·       Online at this link: www.fema.gov/floodplain-management/training

·       Scan the QR code below

·       By contacting FEMA by email at fema-fpmtraining@fema.dhs.gov and request a survey be mailed to your office.
