new flood standards from fema

The question in most minds today is what will remain and what will change in the new Trump Administration? Out with the old, in with the new…which is still to be determined. With that in mind, there is this FEMA Promotes Flood Resilience with New Standard and Resources which would be placed in the “old” column of things that may remain or may change in the near or far future. Any mention of climate impacts on flooding needs to be struck from the standard—right?

I do think that there will be a dearth of announcements coming out of federal agencies for the near future. No one is quite sure what to say, and some agencies like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have been told to not make any public statements, about things like Bird Flu or anything else health related.

What will agency Public Information Officers (PIO/PAO) do during this time period?
