A stipulation of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform
Act of 2012 (BW-12) is the establishment of a Technical Mapping Advisory
Council (TMAC). The TMAC is to include members of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of the Interior, the Department of
Agriculture, the Department of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, other
federal agencies, state and local governments, and experts from private
stakeholder groups.
NSPS is among the associations/organizations that have been
invited to submit nominees to be considered for 2-year appointments to the
TMAC.
NSPS Executive Director (on behalf of NSPS) has submitted
the nomination of Wendy Lathrop, Past President of NSPS, and the representative
for NSPS (and then ACSM) on the TMAC which was in place from 1996 to 2000.
Wendy’s expertise in the issues to be considered by the
TMAC, along with her prior similar service, make her extraordinarily qualified for
this appointment.
