| BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Department of Water Resources (DWR) is hosting a series of meetings for community officials from cities, counties, and townships to discuss how Senate Bill 2027 affects local participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
SB 2027 changed state law defaulting floodplain management authority outside of cities to counties. These meetings will outline what that change means for local governments, what requirements for participating communities are included in SB 2027, and how DWR will support the transition.
Local officials involved in planning, permitting, floodplain administration, or community development are encouraged to attend.
