EMI Training
One of the main focuses of the Florida Floodplain Managers Association will be to encourage flood hazard professionals to further their knowledge. In the upcoming months, we will provide you information regarding workshops, conferences and classes we believe will be of benefit. One of the best training facilities for this is the Emergency Management Institute. EMI offers many courses, but we believe these are the most pertinent to floodplain management. (IS=Home Study) (E=EMI 4 ½ day courses at Emmitsburg, MD campus.) We encourage your participation in either the many resident or non-resident courses this facility offers.
