RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/368 proclaiming the week of October 21-28, 2017, as “California Flood Preparedness Week” in Contra Costa County, as recommended by the Interim Public Works Director, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Last October 18, 2016, the Board declared “California Flood Preparedness Week” on October 16-22, 2016. This year, the State has declared “California Flood Preparedness Week” to be on October 21-28, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County would join federal, state, and other local agencies during Flood Preparedness week in raising awareness of flood risk in California. As part of the Unincorporated County Floodplain Management Program administered by the Public Works Department, Public Works would like to provide information about the Unincorporated Contra Costa County Floodplain Program and resources on flood risk and preparedness. This information is also available through the California Department of Water Resources, specifically the Flood Preparedness website, which provides links to additional information from such agencies as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Flood Insurance Program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County will not declare that week as the statewide California Flood Preparedness Week.
