Our March speaker, Andy Renshaw, works for the City of Gainesville as a Floodplain Administrator. When a hurricane is barreling down on Florida, he’s the guy you want to know!
He was led into floodplain management via land surveying, GIS, and stormwater engineering. The common job responsibilities include:
With the wide variety of tasks and possibilities of what needs to be done, there tends not to be a "typical" day, which is what makes it interesting. But common job responsibilities include:
-Serving citizen inquiries
-Construction permit review for FEMA, NFIP, State, and local floodplain requirements
-Coordinating with local, state, federal and other jurisdictions concerning floodplain and flood zone subject matter
-Performing outreach and public events to educate on flood risk, requirements, and environmental function of floodplains
-Review engineering flood studies and be familiar with hydrology
What does Mr. Renshaw like best about his job? “The diversity. It’s a great blend of technical and relational as it requires both equally.”
