Nearly 70 flood risk professionals from across the region attended the Ohio River Basin, Flood Risk Management (FRM) Workshop on April 10-11th in Northern Kentucky. The event, which was championed by Kentucky and Ohio Silver Jackets teams and planned by the Huntington District, brought together local, state and federal stakeholders to discuss and prioritize flooding hazards on a basin level. Attendees heard presentations from experts in various FRM subjects such as hyper resolution flood modeling and using trees in stormwater management. Following the workshop, Silver Jackets teams will work together to create a report outlining the best practices and findings from the workshop. The goal of which will be to create an integrated "Needs of the Watershed" report to help guide flood risk professionals in holistic management of the Ohio River Basin.
