The 2022 CVFPP Update builds on the information in the 2017 CVFPP Update and was developed with significant engagement by local flood agencies and other interested parties. The 2022 CVFPP Update has three central themes: (1) Building flood system climate resilience; (2) Alignment with other state planning efforts; and (3) Accountability and performance tracking.
