Plenary Session 2: Floodplain Management in the Era of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence: The ASFPM Larry Larson Speaker Series

The ASFPM Foundation is excited to partner with the New Jersey Association for Floodplain Management (NJAFM) again to host the Larry A. Larson Speaker Series (LLSS) at the 2024 NJAFM Annual Conference.  This year's LLSS event will focus on applying artificial intelligence to improve flood risk mitigation and resilience.  The event will bring together representatives of federal and local government and industry to participate in a panel discussion on the implications of AI in this field.  Current efforts, including pilot studies in Monmouth County, will be presented and a Questions and Answers session will be held.

The LLSS intends to create opportunities for interaction among the nation's thought leaders regarding flood risk reduction policy.  Events maximize timely exposure to relevant discussions and debates on community-based flood risk management, an area of policy and practice that was notably shaped and influenced by Larry Larson's life work.  This series is intended to be of lasting benefit to Foundation donors and event participants.

Panelists include:

Derrick Hiebert, Assistant Administrator, Hazard Mitigation Directorate, FEMA
Joe Barris, CFM, Director, Division of Planning, County of Monmouth (NJ)
Curtis Smith, PE, CFM, Senior Associate, Stantec
Moderator: Scott Edelman, Senior Vice President, AECOM
