CONFERENCE DESIGN & FEATURES Conference OverviewElevation? Wet floodproofing? Dry floodproofing? Buyout? Acquisition? Relocation? All of these nonstructural / floodproofing techniques, and the policies surrounding them, will be discussed at the 5th National Floodproofing Conference in Sacramento, California, November 28 – December 1, 2011. We will highlight the various floodproofing methods, products, techniques, programs, funding sources, and issues that have developed since the first four triennial conferences in 1999, 2002, and 2005, and 2008. Exhibitors will showcase the state-of-the-art in materials, services, equipment, accessories and techniques Tuesday through Wednesday. Poster displays will demonstrate what works (and doesn’t!) in terms of project application. Wednesday will feature a tour of local nonstructural and floodproofing techniques, with return to networking in the Conference Exhibit Hall. Additional training workshops are offered on Monday. Plenty of time is planned for attendees to exchange ideas and view the exhibits, so opportunities to network will be ample, as they are at all ASFPM-sponsored conferences. To view the full program detail on the conference website, go to www.floods.org and click on the NFPC-IV icon.

The Location: Sacramento, California Even 150 years after the famous California "Gold Rush," visitors are still discovering gold in Sacramento. In the decades since fortune hunters flocked to the region in search of the glimmering metal, Sacramento, California, has emerged into a cosmopolitan state capital that still retains its unique Gold Rush history. Today you can find gold here without pans or mining equipment. It's in the area's family-friendly attractions, museums, parks, and gardens. It's there for the taking at four-star restaurants and first-class hotels. It's in every seat in the house for Broadway musicals and local plays. November weather is relatively mild with temperatures ranging from 40F – 60F, but it can be wet and windy so plan to dress in layers. See www.discovergold.org for more information on the area.

The Hotel The conference takes place at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento, located in the heart of Sacramento directly across the street from the State Capitol. The negotiated conference rate is $109, plus tax. This special rate is only guaranteed through November 14, 2011, so you’ll want to reserve early either by visiting the exclusive group reservations link on the conference website or by calling the hotel’s toll free reservations number, 888-421-1442. Be sure to reference ASFPM National Floodproofing Conference when making your reservation by phone.

Technical Field Tour, Wednesday 10:30-4:30 (included in full conference registration)Hosted by the Sacramento District Corps of EngineersWednesday’s technical field tour is hosted by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Sacramento District Office and the National Nonstructural Floodproofing Committee. This tour will see risk reduction methods such as

elevation, berms, walls, and wet and dry floodproofing. We will also see the contrast between elevation of buildings in recognition of a flood hazard in the Old Sacramento area which were completed prior to the inclusion of levees into the federal levee system and prior to the implementation of the NFIP, and the current construction practice of slab on grade construction in deep floodplains that have the frequency of flooding reduced by levees such as those in the Natomas area. We return to the hotel for Exhibits Networking from 5:00-7:00 before dinner on your own.

Professional Credit HoursParticipation in the full conference earns 12 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for Certified Floodplain Managers (CFMs). Workshops taken on an a la carte basis qualify for CECs on the basis of 1 credit per hour of instruction, up to the limit of 12 per calendar year. All other professional continuing education needs should be submitted to the appropriate governing body for approval and acceptance.

Preliminary Program Please check the Conference website at www.floods.org for continuing updates.

Monday, November 28

10:00 – 5:00 Registration

Noon – 5:00 Pre-conference Field Tour – Napa, California (Additional fees apply)This tour will highlight the downtown Napa amphitheater that is actually a flood storage area and view the architecturally-beautiful bridges that replaced bridges that once constricted flow. We will walk on the riverside trail that also serves as a floodwall and see where the bypass will be built to allow for flood flows to be diverted away from residential and commercial areas and will be an addition to the park system. And, of course, a trip to Napa wouldn’t be complete without a tasting stop!

1:00 – 5:00 Pre-conference Workshops (Additional fees apply)Full workshop descriptions are available on the conference web page.(Each workshop provides 4 CECs to Certified Floodplain Managers)
