FEMA Region 3 hosts a webinar series for anyone who wants to reduce risk in their community. These hour-long “Coffee Breaks” are held every other month. They share mitigation best practices and highlight the work happening at the federal, regional, state and community levels to reduce risk in Region 3.
Coffee Break webinars are open to anyone in the hazard mitigation, resiliency or risk reduction planning fields. This work can be in the public or private sectors. Community planners, emergency and floodplain managers, GIS technicians, government officials, and contractors can attend.

Elevating Dam Safety Through Hazard Mitigation Planning
Dam failure can cause flooding risks that may be major threats in some Region 3 communities. These risks require monitoring and planning to help to keep the public safe. This may include safety programs, data collection, and non-localized mitigation measures. This webinar will explore the High Hazard Potential Dam (HHPD) Grant Program, the latest hazard mitigation planning requirements, and effective planning partner outreach.
WHEN: Wednesday, March 27 from 11 a.m.—12 p.m. ET
Attendees may be eligible to receive one Continuing Education Credit. Those people must be: Certified Floodplain Managers through the Association of State Floodplain Management; or American Institute of Certified Planners who are certified through the American Planning Association.
