NFIP 101: Introduction to Floodplain Management is a great course to take while you are waiting to take a classroom version of the FEMA 0273 course (which may be available in your state, or at FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute with travel reimbursement for eligible local government and tribal participants).
Students are able to take the entire course (14-17 hour duration) at their own pace for Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM®) Continuing Education Credit (CEC), or students can view/review certain sections as needed without earning CECs. This course is recommended for all community floodplain administrators, permitting staff, community executives, and more.
The Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) is hosting this FEMA course, and students who do take the entire course will be eligible for 12 CFM® CECs through ASFPM. Note: This course does not translate to any FEMA Emergency Management Institute E/L0273 credits.
This webinar is a two-part course on FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program. It brings participants the latest information on the NFIP, including instruction on the NFIP’s pricing methodology – Risk Rating 2.0: Equity in Action. Created for insurance agents with CE varying by state, others are welcome to attend, but CE credit is not available.

This is the first topic of 2023 in the Back2Basics Series with FEMA's Mike Segner. Each topic is offered twice, choose from either offering. This class dives into the topic of floodplain administrator (FPA) turnover at the community level. The session will cover basic need-to-know items for newly appointed local floodplain administrators. Learn your basic duties, common issues you may encounter, and how and why you should reach out for mentoring. If you are nearing the end of your time as a local floodplain administrator, learn what you can and should be doing to help set up your successor for success.

FEMA is offering Direct Technical Assistance (DTA) for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program, prioritizing assistance for communities that are vulnerable, disadvantaged, and haven't received FEMA mitigation grant awards within the past five years.
BRIC DTA is designed to give full support to communities that may not have the resources to begin climate resilience planning and project solution design on their own. Through process-oriented, hands-on support, BRIC DTA will work to enhance a community’s capacity to design holistic, equitable climate adaptation solutions that advance numerous community-driven objectives.
Communities send a request through the online submission form that can be found here (Spanish submission form available here). FEMA will select requests for non-financial BRIC Direct Technical Assistance (DTA) from those that are submitted no later than 3 p.m. Eastern time on Jan. 27, 2023.
