2 Slide1 THINGS WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT LEVEES: CURRENT INITIATIVES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS Presentation to Association of State Flood Plain Managers Orlando, FL U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pete Rabbon, P.E. Director, National Flood Risk Management Program U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 11 June 2009

3 Flood Risk Management Program Vision: To lead collaborative, comprehensive and sustainable national flood risk management to improve public safety and reduce flood damages to our country. Mission: To integrate and synchronize the ongoing, diverse flood risk management projects, programs and authorities of the US Army Corps of Engineers with counterpart projects, programs and authorities of FEMA, other Federal agencies, state organizations and regional and local agencies.

4 Flood Risk = f(chance of flood, consequences) Flood management = Floodwater management + Floodplain management A Shared Responsibility

5 Current Initiatives Intergovernmental Flood Risk Management Committee Interagency Levee Task Force Collaborative Frameworks Vegetation on Levees Levee Safety Program Silver Jackets

6  Meet quarterly to discuss integration of programs and policies  Members: USACE, FEMA, ASFPM, NAFSMA leadership  Current Focus Areas:  Interagency Cooperation/Collaboration  Risk Communication  Levee Inventory and Assessments  Mapping, Certification, and Accreditation  Legislative Impacts Intergovernmental Flood Risk Management Committee National Flood Risk Management Program

7 IFRMC Vision: Through partnering and collaboration achieve long term economic, environmental, and socially sustainable flood risk management which improves public safety and reduces flood damages through a comprehensive watershed approach.

8 Interagency Levee Task Force Identification of regional partners A facilitated comprehensive regional approach to flood risk management and recovery Establishment of interagency partnerships (federal / state) Explore non-structural solutions and other flood risk management opportunities National Flood Risk Management Program

16 Policy Studies Wise Use of Floodplains – Identify procedural or legislative changes that may be warranted to allow the Corps of Engineers to be more effective in working with other Federal agencies, states, local governments and stakeholders in the management of flood risk. WRDA 2007, Section The President is to submit a report to Congress describing the vulnerability of the U.S. to damage from flooding, comparative risks faced by different regions of the country, programs in the U.S. which may be encouraging development and economic activity in flood prone areas, and recommendations for improving those programs and proposals for implementing the recommendations.
