Floods - How Much is Too Much Water
Author: Joe Krolak (FHWA)
"When President Carter signed EO 11988 in 1977, this fundamentally changed the way that the United States considered floodplain management. In an ongoing effort, the White House is revisiting EO 11988 with a goal of developing an update. In addition, changes in how society and policy makers view flood risk, especially after damaging events over the last decade place increasing financial stress on the nation. This presentation will describe the history, inpatient, and current and future directions of evolving floodplain policy and practice, with a focus on impacts to the transportation community."
