• Inadequate data
• Limited understanding by Public and Policymakers
• Emergency management coordination
• Inconsistent land use planning
• Fragmented responsibility
• Conflicting permit requirements
• Unstable funding
Local agencies speak out
![Page 20: Introduction Report Purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815b57550346895dc939c1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Flood infrastructure does not meetcurrent and future needs
• 800+ projects identified statewide
• $30-$50+ billion in improvements and projects
• Will not provide protection from a 100-year flood statewide

![Page 21: Introduction Report Purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815b57550346895dc939c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Flood funding is limited and unreliable
21
• Inconsistent and insufficient funding
• Declining local resources
• Reduced Federal cost shares
• Challenging revenue structure
• Cost of flood management misunderstood by publicand policy makers
![Page 22: Introduction Report Purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815b57550346895dc939c1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Solution
![Page 23: Introduction Report Purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815b57550346895dc939c1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Solutions must use an “Integrated Water Management” approach
• Combines flood management, water supply, and ecosystem actions
• Regional and systemwide approach
• Collaboration and cooperation
• Array of funding sources

We Must Take Action. Now.
California’s future depends on:• Local, State, and Federal agencies working together• Implement policies and projects using an IWM approach• Increase awareness of the cost and consequences of flooding• Establish investment priorities and sufficient and stable
funding• Short-term and long-term action and solutions

Next Steps
• Bridge the facts and recommendations in California’s Flood Future to a broader document that integrates DWR reports and answers key questions.
• Provide insight and information to make the case for policy and legislative changes.
• Support the State’s commitment to Integrated Water Management
