What is the role of a FPM?

Floodplain Manager
Flood Prevention Manager
Federal Project Manager
Financial Planning Manager

The correct answer is: Floodplain Manager

A Floodplain Manager (FPM) is responsible for managing and regulating activities within floodplain areas to minimize risks and damages caused by floods. This includes overseeing development and construction projects in these areas, enforcing flood control regulations, and coordinating emergency responses during floods. The other options, while possibly related to the management of floodplains in some way, do not encompass the true role and responsibilities of a FPM. B A Flood Prevention Manager may be involved in developing strategies for preventing floods, but not necessarily in managing floodplain areas. C: A Federal Project Manager may manage projects relating to flood control or mitigation, but may not exclusively focus on floodplains. D: A Financial Planning Manager may oversee budgets and finances related to flood control or management, but does not directly deal with floodplain regulations or emergency response.
