Floodplain Consulting Within Your Land Survey Practice is a six hour live presentation webinar about floodplain consulting and incorporation into a land surveying firm.

Recent legislation has made flood insurance more expensive and floodplain regulation more complicated. The public needs consultants to help them in resolving problems.
