Duties
What makes this role unique?
Flooding has been the most frequent and costliest type of natural disaster in Washington State for decades. Fortunately, there are ways to make homes, businesses, and infrastructure safer from flooding, and studies have shown that every dollar invested into preventing and mitigating flood hazards saves the equivalent of $5 to $8 of post-flooding disaster costs. In the 1980s, the Washington State Legislature established the Flood Control Assistance Account Program, which makes financial assistance available through grants for local communities to (1) do proactive flood hazard mitigation planning and (2) respond to flood emergencies. However, the program has not been updated for over 25 years, and is not reflective of newer challenges facing Washington’s flood-prone communities today, including but not limited to climate change. The successful candidate for this position will have a unique opportunity to support the Ecology Floodplain Management Team with initiating the significant level of reforms to this program that may only happen once in a decade, or even once in a generation.
What you will do:
Provide internal expertise and consultation on FCAAP to other Ecology floodplain management staff; and provide FCAAP grant-related planning and policy development assistance to existing grantees, prospective applicants, and other interested parties, which include local governments and tribes. Specific tasks will include: Developing and overseeing the implementation of work plans that involve other staff and external partners. Updating existing and/or developing new policies, procedures, processes, and standards of adequacy for FCAAP-related planning activities over which the agency has supervisory responsibilities; and training others on their use. Timely and accurately tracking and reporting on metrics and other performance measures. Providing legislative and budget support to senior staff and managers. Supervising the preparation and distribution of reports, guidance documents, administrative regulations, and other informational material about the FCAAP-related planning objectives of the agency. To accomplish the above, we will rely on you to: Observe and interpret trends, analyze data, identify key relationships, and draw logical conclusions. Convene and facilitate collegial and productive internal and external working groups as needed to achieve intended outcomes. Develop sound recommendations and present them clearly to decision makers both verbally and in writing. Work effectively in support of the state legislative process and the agency’s budget development process.
