In coordination with a pair of federal agencies, the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division (NMHPD) will sponsor an in-person workshop on flood adaptation for historic buildings in Ruidoso.

The authors of the Department of Interior’s Guidelines on Flood Adaptation for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, which takes an in-depth look at preservation guidance specific to historic properties at risk of flooding, will lead this all-day workshop.

This will be a full day of in-person sessions, with snacks and lunch provided. Participants will receive a copy of the Guidelines during the workshop.

NMHPD is hosting the workshop in coordination with the National Park Service and FEMA 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday, July 16, at the Elevate Hotel in Ruidoso.

This workshop is free to attend but is limited to 50-60 people. Please register by Friday, July 10.

Increased flood impacts are unfortunately becoming a permanent reality for those working with historic buildings in New Mexico, and this is a great opportunity to learn from subject experts.
