Since inception, the Association has welcomed everyone interested in floodplain management regardless of their location, employment, or whether their special interest is in structural measures, nonstructural measures, environmental issues, legislation, policy, or some other aspect of floodplain management. The members of the Association represent many federal, state, and local agencies as well as private firms. One of the great values of the Association is its role in providing a common meeting ground and forum for diverse views.
