Welcome:

Welcome to the Washington Association for Floodplain Management. This newly formed organization hopes to promote an active discussion of floodplain management issues among a diverse range of professionals.

Our Purpose:

To promote the common interest in sound floodplain management, to enhance cooperation and to exchange information among private organizations, individuals, and local, state and federal agencies, to encourage appropriate and effective approaches to managing the state's floodplains, and to engage the public in floodplain management issues.
