FEMA continues to partner with the American Planning Association (APA) and the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) to offer a free quarterly webinar series to share challenges, best practices, and evolving methods and techniques in hazard mitigation planning. The purpose of the webinar series is to encourage peer-to-peer learning and the exchange of information among a national and international audience.

The Planning Information Exchange (PIE) focuses on multi-hazard mitigation planning, and it also emphasizes the connections with recovery planning and preparedness. APA and ASFPM are co-conveners of all webinars and select topics and presenters. Participants can earn one continuing education credit through APA and ASFPM.

The next PIE will be October 9, 2018 at 1PM EST. This webinar, titled "Current Research Topics in Disasters, Hazard Mitigation, and Resilience", will convene national experts and thought leaders from three universities, the University of Colorado’s Natural Hazards Center, University of North Carolina's Coastal Resilience Center, and Texas A&M University, to lay out the scope of current research into disasters, hazard mitigation and resilience, as well as discuss what the implications of that research mean for the future.
