The flood risk management approach has taken hold; with that, roles and responsibilities are changing.
What lies ahead for federal agencies? Private property owners? Land developers? Levee and drainage districts? Consultants and others working to protect communities from flooding?
Join Husch Blackwell attorneys and industry professionals for a discussion on efforts to reduce flood risk, the developing regulatory framework and its implications, and resources to help navigate change.
Hear from federal agencies, stakeholders and attorneys. We are honored to have as a special guest U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, ranking member of the Housing and Insurance Subcommittee.
