The document outlines the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP) which aims to reduce flooding in California's Central Valley through integrated flood management. It discusses the planning process which includes regional conditions work groups to develop the plan and topic work groups to address issues like climate change and levee performance. The 2012 CVFPP will define flood problems, risks, goals and potential management actions through an iterative development process with opportunities for stakeholder engagement.

Editor's Notes
Plan for the Regional Conditions Work Group meetings has been revised to Improve efficiency to better utilize partners’ input and time Allow for sufficient time between meetings to adequately synthesize Work Group input Community Success Factors discussion allowed for earlier input from the Work Group on Problems and Opportunities, and Goals and Principles (Therefore, original meetings plan can be shortened). Important Changes: Reduce meeting schedule from 10 to 7 meetings, and allow additional time between meetings 3, 4, and 5 Original Chapters 5, 6, 7 (related to report findings) are separated into a Companion Document to the Regional Conditions Summary Report - Regional Conditions Summary Report will only include the first 4 chapters of the CVFPP The Companion Document will include (Reader’s Guide to the RCSR, Lesson Learned on improvement to the partners engagement process, & assessing level of agreement on Problems and Opportunities, and Goals and Objectives for the CVFPP) Regional Work Group will help draft the Companion Document During the last two meetings (6 and 7), Work Group will discuss next steps for the CVFPP activities: Develop a scope for the next Regional Work Groups on Management Actions Discuss the Valley-wide Forum planned in late January and the reporting on Regional Conditions Work Group activities Back check review will be conducted in early January to allow WG members to see how the document came together before the release of the Public Review Draft
