Benefit-Cost Analysis Training & Mitigation Project Application Writing Overview

Course description:

This two and a half day workshop will begin with a full training session on the Benefit Cost Analysis Modules used by VDEM and FEMA to determine cost effectiveness of mitigation projects. It will then be followed up with a half-day session that will focus on mitigation project development. We will provide to you the Benefit Cost Analysis Modules, training materials, and snacks. You will need to bring a laptop computer with a CD-Rom drive. If you are unable to bring a laptop computer, please note that on your registration, and we will pair you with a person who is bringing one.

Please encourage a member of your community’s mitigation project development team to attend this very important training session if they have not already done so.
