Emergency Management Floodplain Stewardship 1 A MATCH MADE AT EMI 21st Emergency Management Higher Education Symposium: Diversity, Inclusion, & Unity of Effort FEMA Higher Education Program National Emergency Training Center Emmitsburg, MD Jerry Murphy, JD, AICP, CFM University of Florida Resilient Communities Initiative

Diversity, Inclusion, & Unity of Effort 2 build, engage, and amplify the work of the emergency management academic community

Risks / Opportunities We believe that in the future more [leaders] in government as well as in business and industry will come to the job with college education that includes a degree. . . . [T]o build disaster resistant and resilient communities a broad range of college students and professionals need courses that introduce them to hazards, risk, vulnerability, disasters, and what to do about them. 3

Risks / Opportunities: FEMA Higher Education Program The primary goal of the FEMA Higher Education Program: work with colleges and universities . . . professionals, and stakeholder organizations to help create an emergency management system of sustained, replicable capability and disaster loss reduction through formal education, experiential learning, practice, and experience centered on: 4

Risks / Opportunities: FEMA Higher Education Program 5 mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery from the full range of natural, technological and intentional hazards which confront communities, States, and the Nation.

Opportunities Risks ASFPM Higher Education Committee Goal: Flood Risk Management in Higher Ed. degree programs work with partner agencies to increase curriculum explore opportunities with other disciplines, e.g., planning and emergency management, within their current curriculum structure 6

Preparedness 13 Mitigation, Prevention, Protection, Response, and Recovery

National Preparedness Goal System National Frameworks: ASFPM Mission: Mitigation The mission of ASFPM is to promote education, policies and activities that mitigate current and future losses, costs and human suffering caused by flooding, and to protect the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains - all without causing Prevention Protection Response Recovery 14

ASFPM CFM Program National program for certifying floodplain managers. Recognizes continuing education and professional development. expanding due to increases in disaster losses, the emphasis on mitigation to alleviate the cycle of damage-rebuild-damage, and a recognized need for professionals to adequately address these issues. 15

ASFPM CFM Program Floodplain managers often specialize in one or more aspects of floodplain management. The Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM ) Program promotes a level of expertise. But an advanced curriculum in Floodplain Stewardship is developing. 16

Current Floodplain Higher Education Programs Western Kentucky University In 2012, Western Kentucky University created a Bachelors of Interdisciplinary Studies degree with a concentration in Floodplain Management. This is the first 4-year degree in floodplain management in the U.S. Required courses include surveying, GIS, hydrology, floodplain management, and field experience in floodplain management. Other courses include small group communication, political science, and journalism. 19

Current Floodplain Higher Education Programs University of Washington (state) The Floodplain Management program is a specialized track in the fully online Master of Infrastructure Planning and M anagement at UW. The floodplain program itself is a hybrid of online and in-person courses, with two summer sessions on the UW campus in Seattle and classes during the academic year delivered completely online. The full degree consists of 45 credits and requires seven quarters of study. 20
