A new approach to flood risk management is taking hold, with some changes to roles and responsibilities having occurred and others under consideration. What might that mean for Natural Resources Districts (NRDs) and owners/operators of levees and drainage facilities? Consultants and others who work to protect communities from flooding? What lies ahead for federal agencies? Private property owners? Land developers?
Join Husch Blackwell and Nebraska's Natural Resources Districts for a discussion on reducing flood risk, resources to do so, the evolving federal regulatory framework and its implications, and tools to help navigate current and future change.
