Welcome to the TN AFPM Website
The Tennessee Association of Floodplain Management (TN AFPM) brings together people with a common interest in floodplain management. Members include: TN local government floodplain administrators, elected officials, public employees, local, state and federal agencies, engineers, land surveyors, planners, contractors, lenders, insurance agents, real estate professionals, students, and corporate partners.
Our objectives include promoting interest in flood damage abatement, improving cooperation among government agencies, and encouraging innovatie approaches to managing Tennessee's floodplains. In addition, we believe a unified membership can present one strong voice to communicate with state legislators on flood-related issues.
TN AFPM was organized in 2009 and is a pfrofessional association for floodplain management pracitioners. We are working hard to achieve "Chapter" status of the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM). See Starting a Chapter for information on our progress.

We are in the initial stages of formation and development of our association, but are moving rapidly toward achieving "chapter" status of the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM). I encourage you to consider membership in the TN AFPM.
TN AFPM is a non-profit organization of professionals involved in floodplain management within the State of Tennessee.

We produce a quarterly newsletter which serves as an informational and educational tool for our sponsors and members.
The association also sponsors an annual conference and is dedicated to improving the management of Tennessee's floodplains through education, cooperation and communication. The annual conference is a great way to network with others in the floodplain management field.
