Dates: March 27-31, 2006
Course Information: With tremendous
losses to residential structures resulting from coastal storms,
design professionals and government officials are increasingly called
upon to provide technical assistance to reduce this risk.
This comprehensive 4 ½-day course provides
participants the opportunity to learn best practices in siting,
design, construction, and maintenance. E386 is designed to train
participants on FEMA’s Coastal Construction Manual (CCM).
FEMA has rewritten the 1985 edition of the CCM. The new CCM expands
the discussion of planning, siting, hazard identification, erosion,
and other issues that should be considered to create sustainable,
coastal communities.
Location: The course will be held at the National
Emergency Training Center (NETC), Emmitsburg, Maryland, during the
dates referenced above.
Participant Selection Criteria:
This course is intended for engineers, architects, and building
code officials. Floodplain management, hazard mitigation, and planning
officials with building science knowledge may also apply.
