1990 – ASFPM Board Passes Three Important Resolutions

ASFPM Board passes three important resolutions to improve management of flood risk in the nation:

  1. Support for one foot of freeboard to provide better protection against increasing flood levels instead of no freeboard used in NFIP
  2. FEMA flood maps should show which properties will be inundated if a dam fails so people are protected
  3. FEMA flood maps should use GIS to more accurately show properties and flood areas
