The goal of the 2D workshops is to develop and provide technical training to state agencies, local officials and local technical community to assist in the transition from 1D to 2D Flood Risk Identification and NFIP Floodplain Management.

The accuracy of risk identification is greatly enhanced with 2-D modeling but needs to be integrated locally to maximize its potential for effective floodplain management. During this workshop you can expect:
• Broadened knowledge of Flood Risk 2-D modeling
• Hands on experience pulling information from new 2-D models
• Continuity of synergy from Risk MAP deliverables
• Understanding of the NFIP floodplain versus the results of the rain on grid 2-D hydraulic models
• Continued building of partnerships through education and utilizing comments to assist policy changes

Training will include:
• Description and explanation of model development hydrology and hydraulics
• User Guide for basic needs of the floodplain managers and engineers to determine
floodplain management answers from existing models
• Process to modify models for 3 typical floodplain management scenarios
• Lead the development of LOMR for modifications
• Facilitate a discussion of issues and concerns for follow up post training.

Eight Continuing Education Credits (CECs) will be obtained for the workshop's attendees through ASFPM.
