The Board initially approved the designation of 15 flood planning regions to implement regional and state flood planning on April 9, 2020. In developing these proposed flood planning regions, coastal basins were combined with adjacent major river basins based on the potential to be influenced by inter-basin flooding, ongoing coastal management efforts, and the stream contribution to bays. Smaller river basins were combined with larger basins based on similar types of flooding, relatively small populations, and practical administrative constraints limiting the number of regions that can be adequately supported. |
