The Association of State Floodplain Managers Foundation is currently reviewing all the abstracts that were received for the 2019 Student Paper Competition. Students will be notified by February 1 whether they have been selected as semi-finalists. Those selected will be invited to submit a paper and present that paper at a special session during the ASFPM annual national conference May 21 in Cleveland, OH. 

ASFPM Foundation and the Floodplain Management Association (CA, HI, NV) are currently planning the State Flood Risk Symposium that they will co-host in California in April. The topic will be "The Differing California Flood Disasters." Invited experts will convene to examine three subtopics and develop policy recommendations and action plans.

In May, the foundation will host the 6th Gilbert F. White National Flood Policy Forum in Washington, DC. The topic will be "Increasing Our Resiliency to Urban Flooding." One hundred invited experts will convene and seek to answer the high-level question: "How can we be better equipped as a nation to deal with rapidly increasing flood risk in urban areas?"
