Last month, the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, & Environment (DWEE) hosted a free two-hour virtual class, ”Before and After Disaster Strikes: Substantial Damage 101,” for both novice and seasoned floodplain administrators, as well as anyone involved in floodplain or emergency management, or permitting. The class focused on floodplain administration at various stages of a disaster, such as a flood, fire, or tornado. Attendees learned about pre-disaster preparation, strategies for informing the public, and permitting requirements, as well as what to do when a building is damaged.
A recording of the training can be accessed here or on the DWEE Training and Workshops webpage.
