§ 9623 Local Flood Funding Collaboration

• •Cities and counties must work with the state to find ways to pay for flood protection.
• •They had to come up with a plan by January 1, 2010.
• •The goal is to keep people safe from floods in the Central Valley.

A small town in the Central Valley gets flooded every year, causing damage to homes and roads.

The town must team up with the state to figure out how to pay for better flood protection, like stronger levees or better drainage systems, so the flooding stops.
