Our Mission

The Virginia Floodplain Management Association (VFMA) is a group of professionals representing state and federal agencies, local governments, and private firms dedicated to expanding the application of proactive floodplain management in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

VFMA provides easy access to information about state and federal guidelines and regulations and funding assistance to plan for avoiding flooding or for flood mitigation, response, and recovery. VFMA also provides training and hosts the Certified Floodplain Manager Exam. With newsletters and workshops offered around the state, VFMA is the one centralized location to learn what other communities are doing, to keep pace with technology, and to participate with others in the profession.
