The Federal Emergency Management Agency updates their guidance documents annually - with final guidance published in November each year. With 2 dimensional engineering models becoming more common there is a need to update FEMA's guidance associated with floodways. This webinar will provide information on proposed revisions to FEMA's floodway guidance associated with floodways and how to provide comments on the proposed revisions.
