*Renewal Policy: Certified Floodplain Surveyors (CFS) are required to complete a 4-hour biennial update course within two years of the initial certification date and every two years after that. If the certification expiration date passes prior to completion of the update course requirement, the CFS must attend the next available class. The grace period cannot extend more than one year from the expiration date. If the CFS fails to meet this requirement, their certification will be revoked, and they will need to attend the full course and pass the exam to be reinstated. Instructors Gary W.
