AB 1811: Local flood protection: planning: climate change.

Existing law authorizes a local agency to prepare a local plan of flood protection and prescribes that a plan include, among other components, a strategy to meet the urban level of flood protection, including planning for residual flood risk and system resiliency.

This bill would require this strategy, if a plan is prepared by a local agency, to also include planning for climate change and rainwater and stormwater management. The bill would require the plan to additionally include an update on the status of coordination with water suppliers on how the management of flood waters can bolster local water supplies.
