Flood resilience efforts are underway across Virginia to minimize loss of life, property damage, and negative social and environmental impacts of flooding. Flood resilience planning and implementation guides the direction of these efforts and includes understanding and addressing the ways in which the Commonwealth’s critical infrastructure is vulnerable to the impacts of flooding. The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), under the direction of the Commonwealth’s Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources and Chief Resilience Officer (CRO), serves as the lead administrator of flood resilience and protection planning, coordination, outreach, and engagement for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Comprehensive planning efforts that DCR will lead to assess flood risk and identify and prioritize resilience-building actions include the Virginia Flood Protection Master Plan (VFPMP) and Coastal Resilience Master Plan (CRMP), which builds upon the existing Coastal Resilience Master Planning Framework and Coastal Resilience Master Plan Phase I. The Commonwealth’s CRMP, Phase I was released in 2021, while the VFPMP was last updated in 2005. Both the CRMP and the VFPMP are scheduled to be updated on a five-year basis, and plan updates are scheduled for 2024 and 2025 (one year ahead of the statutory deadline), respectively.
