Earth Economics attends ASFpm Annual National virtual Conference
Earth Economics attended the ASFPM Annual National Conference, which took place virtually this year for the first time due to COVID-19. During the 3-day event, floodplain managers and subject-matter experts presented on a wide-variety of topics.
The virtual event brought together over 5,000 attendees to learn about flood risk mitigation, modeling, and building resilience in the face of mounting flood hazards. Featuring presentations from state, local, and federal agencies, non-profits, and technical partners, the conference covered all things flooding, both coastal and riverine. Themes included understanding risk, planning for the future, strategies for minimizing impacts, and connecting mitigation projects to technical expertise and funding sources. Of particular interest to Earth Economics were the multiple presentations highlighting the environmental co-benefits offered by green infrastructure projects, and how green and gray infrastructure solutions work together to build more resilient communities.
