As part of the California Department of Water Resources’ (DWR)
commitment to supporting underrepresented communities, DWR’s
Division of Flood Management is partnering with the Division of
Regional Assistance on a free, virtual, pilot workshop. The focus
of the workshop is sharing information with California’s
Underrepresented Communities and California’s Native American
Tribes about the Floodplain Management Branch’s technical
assistance and grant programs – e.g., the Post-Wildfire Watershed
Assessment Program.
The workshop will focus on small community risk reduction,
floodplain management and protection, and technical assistance
for various DWR flood risk reduction programs. The Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
will also be sharing information about grant programs that
support building resilience in communities and provide funding
pre- and post-disaster.
Who should attend this virtual workshop? The workshop is intended
for community planners, emergency response planners, integrated
regional water management agencies, tribal representatives,
and any others dedicated to disseminating critical information to
underrepresented communities.
