The CSPDC has launched a new public survey inviting residents, business owners, and community members to share their experiences with flooding and stormwater issues in their communities.
Survey responses will direct how and where funding is prioritized to address flooding concerns across the region through the Central Shenandoah Flood and Stormwater Resilience Plan, a regional process to better understand and address flooding at the local level. The Plan will help participating localities identify priority infrastructure projects — from traditional stormwater improvements to green infrastructure solutions — and position them to compete for construction funding through the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Community Flood Preparedness Fund (CFPF).
Localities must have an adopted Flood and Stormwater Resilience Plan in place to qualify for CFPF construction funding, and broad public participation a critical input for the process.
What the Survey Covers
The survey asks participants to identify where flooding or drainage problems occur, how frequently they happen, and how they affect neighborhoods, roads, and public spaces. Responses will be combined with technical data and local government input to guide project identification and planning across the region.
The survey is open to all residents and stakeholders in the Central Shenandoah region and takes just a few minutes to complete.
