Your Hour With APA Virginia: DCR-State-Led Flood Resilience Planning
May 20, 2024
1 CM : 9290920
This webinar will introduce the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s approach and progress toward integrated intergovernmental flood resilience planning in Virginia. The presentation will highlight efforts to develop the Commonwealth’s first statewide Virginia Flood Protection Master Plan (VFPMP) since 2005 and integrating this plan with other regional and local flood resilience plans, including the Coastal Resilience Master Plan.
DCR will also explain tools and products that it is developing to support local flood resilience planning, such as climate-informed flood models and public engagement tools. For example, DCR will share a new rainfall-driven, climate-informed flood model available for all localities near and east of I-95.
