SAVE THE DATE: VCRC Annual Fall Conference - October 21st, 2026

No Adverse Impact - National & State Standards & Guidance for Floodplain Management  

October 21st, 2026 | 9:00am - 4:30pm | William & Mary School of Education      

Flood losses remain our Nation’s greatest disaster losses, and they are growing. The Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) has pioneered “No Adverse Impact” (NAI) for better floodplain management to reduce flood risk.  Experts from ASFPM and Certified Floodplain Managers will address the history, use, and future of NAI as a key tool in our Nation’s effort to address flooding and explore how the national “No Adverse Impact Legal Guide for Flood Risk Management” is useful for federal issues while discussing its limitations as they relate to state-specific law. The conference will also premier the VCRC’s “Virginia No Adverse Impact Legal Guide,” how it builds on national guidance, and how it provides a model to other states for providing state-specific, actionable information to local floodplain managers and attorneys. 

Stay tuned for more conference details on registration, agenda, and speakers!
