    Lt. Col. James A. DeLapp, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District commander, welcomes participants at the Flood Risk Management and Silver Jackets Workshop Aug. 16, at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel and The Nashville Convention Center in Nashville. Traditionally, different agencies wear different colored jackets when responding to emergencies. For example, FEMA personnel wear blue and Corps personnel wear red. The name Silver Jackets is used to underscore the common mission of the diverse agencies involved. The workshop was held Aug. 15-19, to promote effective and continuous collaboration between state and federal agencies, which is critical to successfully reducing the risk of flooding and other natural disasters in the United States and enhancing response and recovery efforts when such events do occur. No single agency has all the answers, but often multiple programs can be leveraged to provide a cohesive solution.
