Floodplain Committee

INAFSM Floodplain Committee Update:

The INAFSM Floodplain Committee is planning a series of organizational meetings throughout the State as a way to reinitiate activity for the committee and have a fun way to bring members together to discuss topics of interest. The first series of meetings will be to “get organized” and set committee priorities for the year. We are also looking for input for activities and presentations that membership would like to see done. The goal will be to then have “breakfast or lunch talks” every other month.

The current organizational meetings will be held at the following locations in order to give membership throughout the state a chance to participate on the committee:
