Floodplain Management Training

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is a proven partner to FEMA with a history of providing, maintaining, and improving floodplain management services throughout the state.

Permitting Workshop, April 2025
DNR’s Floodplain Management Section will host a permitting workshop in April. This workshop will provide detailed instruction on permitting requirements and necessary documentation for various floodplain development activities.
Floodplain administrators and any other local officials who work on floodplain development permits are encouraged to attend. The workshop will offer continuing education credits (CECs) for Certified Floodplain Managers (CFM).
This two-hour workshop will be offered four times:
- Tuesday, April 22, from 9-11 a.m.
- Tuesday, April 22, from 1-3 p.m.
- Wednesday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to noon
- Wednesday, April 23, from 2-4 p.m.
All sessions will cover the same material and be held virtually on Microsoft Teams. Please register here for the session you wish to attend, and the meeting link will be sent to you as the workshop date approaches.

Recorded Workshops and training

In partnership with FEMA, the DNR Division of Water is implementing and updating training videos. These videos are intended for use by floodplain administrators, other local officials, or property owners. The videos and web pages broaden knowledge of floodplain management and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements. Videos will be maintained and updated on this site for those who did not have an opportunity to attend the workshops in person or virtually or those who wish to have a refresher on a particular topic.
