All Virginians face a risk of flooding and benefit from flood resilience efforts. We encourage you to stay informed on the VFPMP and opportunities for public participation. Please consider sharing the invitation below with your family, friends, and community members and invite them to attend this webinar, as well. 

What is the VFPMP? 

The VFPMP aims to reduce current and future flood risks across the Commonwealth by developing long-term, coordinated strategies to reduce flood risks and maximize the benefits of flood resilience efforts. It will serve as a plan for the Commonwealth to use in developing policies and programs that lessen the impacts of flooding on people, the economy, and the environment.  

Development of the plan began in late summer 2024, with a target release at the end of 2025. Learn more about DCR and the VFPMP here.
