Why will FEMA be attending the show? Understanding the risk of flooding and options for preparedness makes our community more resilient for the future.

The Ward’s Stormwater Floodplain Simulations System is designed to help communicate flood risk in an interactive way. It includes a miniature landscape that provides hands-on simulations to help homeowners, builders and government officials understand the critical roles that floodplains play in the life of a watershed. Live and video demonstrations of the model system will be presented Saturday and Sunday.
