Floodplain Management

Flooding is the most common hazard we have in the United States. There are many different types of flooding that can occur. Today we’ll be talking with a local flood plain manager about how he and his jurisdiction approaches flood risks.

Helmut Schmidt – Pierce County Planning and Public Works. Floodplain Administrator & Floodplain Services Supervisor. He has 38 years working in floodplain management and restoration design/construction. He has a comprehensive understanding of the tributary drainage and riverine function of the Puyallup River watershed.

A lover of history, he also brings both a researched and lived prospective of infrastructure, policy and flood events that have shaped Pierce County Floodplain Management. As Floodplain Administrator, he ensures development and County regulations stay in compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Helmut graduated from St. Martins College and is a Certified Floodplain Manager.
