Department of Conservation and Recreation Coastal Resilience Master Plan
The Draft Coastal Resilience Master Plan Phase II, developed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation for the Commonwealth of Virginia, aims to comprehensively assess flood risk and guide informed decision-making to enhance resilience. The plan analyzes flood hazards from coastal, riverine, and rainfall-driven sources, evaluating their impacts on community resources, built infrastructure, human infrastructure, and natural infrastructure across various future planning scenarios (2030-2060 and 2060-2100). It integrates an inventory of existing resilience projects and presents 20 recommendations for research, data-driven prioritization, funding, outreach, and intergovernmental coordination, with an overarching goal to safeguard the Commonwealth from increasing flood exposure.
