The Rhode Island Flood Mitigation Association (RIFMA) is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2014 RIFMA Conference and Membership Meeting!

When: Thursday, April 24, 2014 – 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
Where: Amica Conference Center, 100 Amica Way, Lincoln, Rhode Island

RIFMA’s 2014 conference will provide a venue for professionals involved in floodplain management and flood hazard mitigation to gather, discuss best practices, share ideas, and learn from colleauges’ experiences.

This year’s theme of “Making Mitigation Matter” was selected due to the overwhelming efforts to reduce future losses through implementation of mitigation actions throughout the region. New England has experienced multiple major weather events in recent years and many states have begun implementing long-term measures that reduce, minimize, or eliminate potential damages to public and private infrastructure from natural hazards. The 2014 RIFMA conference will showcase presentations focused on a variety of mitigation actions and opportunities.

To register, and for more information on Continuing Education Credits, speakers, and sponsorship opportunities please visit the RIFMA website at www.riflood.org.

Thank you for your continued support of RIFMA and we look forward to another successful event!

Regards,
RIFMA Board of Directors
