This document outlines a legislative framework for flood control and flood risk management in the Sacramento Valley. It proposes a comprehensive plan to address the complex challenges of reducing flood risk and associated liabilities. Key strategic areas include identifying and implementing design standards for urban and non-urban levees, developing capital improvement and maintenance programs, ensuring proper levee upkeep, protecting small communities, establishing guidelines for urban development in floodplains, updating flood insurance maps, clarifying inter-governmental liability, and securing diverse funding mechanisms. The plan aims to enhance the reliability of flood protection, manage urban development, and ensure the long-term safety and economic viability of the region.
