According to the Virginia Department of Conservation & Recreation, “Flooding — whether from hurricanes, rain events, or storm surge — is the most common and costly natural disaster, but most Virginians aren’t prepared. Finding out if you live in a high-risk flood zone is as easy as entering an address on the Virginia Flood Risk Information System.”
New River Conservancy is actively working with flood prone communities in the watershed to reduce the risk of flood damage and improve water quality and quantity. To learn more about New River Conservancy’s efforts to improve the watershed, please visit our website.
