The Association of State Floodplain Managers and co-sponsors have teamed up to bring the state-of-the-art in floodproofing to an area known not only for its natural beauty, culture, and friendly people, but also for its history of devastating floods. In recent years, the Gulf Coast states have taken quite a beating, from the infamous 2004-05 hurricane seasons to the ongoing excessive storms and rainfalls. Local and national experts will share how they deal with these coastal, riverine, and levee-protection issues. This conference will continue to build upon the previous triennial floodproofing conferences held in Charleston, West Virginia, in 2005; Tampa, Florida, in 2002; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1999. We will focus on all aspects of floodproofing, including techniques, materials, contractors, current issues and programs, and the various means of funding floodproofing projects. We will also discuss measures that remove structures from floodprone areas. Presentations are invited covering all approaches currently used to floodproof buildings and innovative approaches being tested.
