On Thursday, August 27, 2026, the CSPDC will host a Regional Floodplain Management Workshop in partnership with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).
The free, half-day workshop will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the BRITE Transit Facility in Fishersville. Participants will hear about five key aspects of floodplain management — floodplain mapping, regulations, substantial improvement and substantial damage requirements, permitting, and flood insurance — with time reserved for questions and discussion.
CSPDC organized the workshop in response to a need identified during the early stages of the CSPDC’s Flood and Stormwater Resilience Plan, when localities expressed interest in additional training and resources to strengthen floodplain management and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) compliance.
The workshop is intended for local floodplain administrators, plan review staff, code officials, and anyone involved in—or interested in learning more about—floodplain management and NFIP requirements. Whether you are new to floodplain administration or simply looking for a refresher, this workshop is a chance to strengthen your knowledge, ask questions, and connect with regional peers.
