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.

5. What is CVFMP? Central Valley Flood Management Planning Program (CVFMP) Assess the current flood protection system Improve understanding of flood risk Develop Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP) to improve integrated flood management in the Central Valley

6. 2012 CVFPP Promote understanding related to integrated flood management from state, federal, local, regional, tribal and other perspectives (e.g., agriculture, urban, rural, environment, etc.) Create a broadly supported vision for improving integrated flood management in Central Valley Develop new data and information that can be shared for many purposes

7. 2012 CVFPP Scope Define flood and related resources problems Describe system, performance and risks Develop goals and objectives Identify management actions primarily for Repairing and improving flood protection Implementing integrated flood management Improving system-wide riverine ecosystem functions Evaluate management actions Identify and evaluate potential system improvement
