June 13, 2013 – Draft Regional Flood Atlases released for six regions along the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers

In 2012 the Department of Water Resources launched the Regional Flood Management Planning effort, a locally led process that will result in Regional Flood Management Plans (RFMP) for the regions identified in the 2012 Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. Though there were originally nine regions, some of the regions have joined together, leading to the six regions in the draft Regional Flood Atlases that were developed as part of the RFMP effort. These atlases show flood risk characteristics and hazards for each region. To download PDFs of the draft atlases, go to http://www.water.ca.gov/cvfmp/regionalplan/regionalatlas.cfm.

Central Valley Flood Management Planning

With the successful completion of the 2012 Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP), three major flood management planning efforts are underway to refine the State Systemwide Investment Approach and inform the CVFPP 2017 Update:

• Basin-wide Feasibility Studies
• Central Valley Flood System Conservation Strategy
• Regional Flood Management Planning

Statewide Flood Management Planning

The Statewide Flood Management Planning Program was developed to expand the focus of California's flood management planning statewide.
