More information about the workshops and CVFPP adoption process is provided at
cvfpb.ca.gov.
The California Department of Water Resources transmitted the Public Draft of the 2022 CVFPP
Update to the CVFPB on April 21, 2022. The Board is responsible for adopting the plan, and for
conducting public hearings, workshops, and reviewing written comments to inform any
changes to the Public Draft prior to adoption.
The public comment period for the Public Draft was open through June 6, 2022. The Board
hosted three public hearings in June 2022 to receive verbal comments. In July 2022, the
CVFPB announced three public workshops to consider comments to the 2022 Central Valley
Flood Protection Plan Update, the next step to engage the public as part of the adoption
process. The first workshop was held July 15, 2022. A recording of this workshop is available
here.

The importance of the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan
The CVFPP is California's strategic framework for reducing flood risk in the Central Valley,
which has among the highest flood risks in the nation. California’s rapidly changing climate is
increasing flood risk even while the state experiences long term, year ‘round drought. More
intense swings from record dry to record wet conditions mean flooding can happen at any
time.
The Central Valley is home to millions of people and billions of dollars in infrastructure,
property and farms, and extensive and diverse natural resources, all at risk of catastrophic
flooding.
