Regional Flood Management Committee

The Regional Flood Management Committee’s (formerly Regional Flood Management Council) purpose is to assist and advise elected officials in their decision-making responsibilities by making recommendations on issues related to all aspects of flood management in the Gulf Coast Planning Region.

The Committee addresses flood and floodplain management issues for the thirteen-county region. These issues include, but are not limited to, flood hazard mapping studies and funding; multi-jurisdictional flood management districts; and authorities for counties, drainage districts and cities, where needed, to effectively manage the floodplain and provide coordination to address entire watersheds.
