FEMA is leading an implementation planning process for National Marine Fisheries Service’s 2016 Biological Opinion (“BiOp”) regarding impacts of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on Endangered Species Act-listed fish and southern resident killer whales. FEMA is required by law to develop an implementation plan in response to the BiOp. This implementation plan will outline how FEMA proposes to address the jeopardy determination in the BiOp by addressing flood hazards and promoting beneficial floodplain function.

Join FEMA and other stakeholders in this preliminary workshop on the implementation plan, Friday, February 21, to discuss progress, feedback, and next steps.
