Status: Ongoing
Action FLOOD-08-b: Partner with Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, SMUD, PG&E, Capital Region Climate Readiness Collaborative, Sierra Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Partnership, and others in advancing upstream and downstream regional water management solutions that reduce flood risks by increasing storage capacity in upstream reservoirs (similar to improvements recently made to Folsom Dam), storing, and slowing snow melt until later in the season, and increasing capacity of the Yolo Bypass. Status: Ongoing
Action FLOOD-08-c: Advance projects to stabilize and reinforce shorelines and levees along the American River to accommodate necessary high flows during high release flood protection events. Status: Ongoing
