What’s your water resource management challenge? NAFSMA offers unparalleled access to the focused expertise your agency needs to navigate today’s waves of change.

From extreme weather to water contaminants to growing social service needs, increasing environmental challenges are driving new demands for water resource management and infrastructure innovation.

To respond, FEMA, USACE, and EPA policies, regulations, and funding programs are changing fast. How will your agency navigate this critical turning point?

Water-focused public agencies need a committed, federally connected community to help them track and analyze change — and to craft smart, localized water resource strategies.  

For more than 40 years, NAFSMA has benefited member agencies by advocating for effective public policy, securing essential funding, and promoting innovations that help members better serve their communities.
