YFM Documentary and Webinars
1st July 2022
The Young Floodplain Managers network have put together a feature length documentary of their tour undertaken in Brisbane in 2021. If you were unable to attend the tour, this documentary is not to be missed.
Join the QLD YFM on a walking and ferry tour of the Brisbane River and learn how Brisbane River flood events have changed people's lives and shaped the FRM industry. Starting at Guyatt Park and ending at Bulimba, you can listen to several floodplain professionals and historians tell the story of Brisbane River, including remembering the 2011 flood event.
To access the documentary, you’ll need access to the FMA Members’ Section. You can find it under YFM Recordings.
While you’re there, take a minute to view the YFM 2022 Joint Webinar International Careers and Floodplain Management. This webinar was a great opportunity for those interested in understanding differences and similarities in floodplain risk management overseas, and the amazing career opportunities available in the different geographies.
Joining the YFM were Barry Rodgers (BMT) and Chris Huxley (BMT), who discussed their global experiences working in the floodplain management industries in the UK, USA and Australia. The event also incorporated a networking element - a great avenue to meet your peers, discuss key learnings, and brainstorm questions for the panel guests.
