Legislators sought to ensure the N.C. Flood Resiliency Blueprint provides tangible results to reduce flooding and its impacts in North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Secretary Elizabeth Biser and Project Manager Todd Kennedy were joined by Dave Canaan and John Dorman of AECOM, the contractor selected to develop the Blueprint, to testify before the subcommittee on efforts to date and the path ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the $20 million appropriated by the General Assembly in 2021, DEQ has spent $1.9 million to produce what subcommittee Co-Chair Rep. John Bell (R-Wayne) described with disappointment as \u201ca very, very rough draft\u201d of a report and to develop flood mitigation strategies for the Neuse River basin. Biser provided the draft executive summary with her written testimony. The full report still faces months of revisions from staff based on input from more than 150 stakeholders and 500 comments submitted to the project team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another $4 million is dedicated to developing an online tool to help state and local governments prioritize flood mitigation strategies. Biser and the AECOM team said a beta version would be ready in April. The remaining $14 million would go toward applying lessons from the Neuse effort to other five other basins, including the French Broad River in western North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to invest time on the front end in order to make sure things went as smoothly as possible on the back end,\u201d Biser said. This meant learning from other states, bringing in more than 150 stakeholders, and taking an agile, learning-based approach to projects and contracts instead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recodingamerica.us\/concepts\">traditional \u201cwaterfall\u201d approach<\/a>. For example, lessons from&nbsp;creating strategies and projects for&nbsp;the Neuse River basin&nbsp;will be&nbsp;applied to the other basins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;We have a tendency to move at the speed of government, not the speed of business. <\/strong><br><strong>We need to move at the speed of business.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>Rep. John Bell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Legislators also probed Biser on the future of the Blueprint and whether it would become a permanent part of North Carolina\u2019s government?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want you to picture some big bureaucracy, big division-type effort,\u201d Biser said, repeatedly iterating that she sees this as a project, not a program. Looking to future needs, Biser likened it to buying a new car and not changing its oil. \u201cThe value of the tool is directly correlated with what data is supporting it.\u2026 The data has to be maintained. If we do it one time and walk away, it\u2019s going to be great for a few years, and then you\u2019re going to have wasted your investment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the subcommittee were particularly concerned about the hurdles from federal regulations and state procurement rules. Those two areas will likely be subject of further discussions, along with firmer estimates of costs for development, implementation, and maintenance. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subcommittee will continue to monitor as each phase of the Blueprint timeline progresses and work to protect the citizens of North Carolina from catastrophic flood events and their aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the Blueprint, we have a tremendous opportunity in front of us,\u201d Bell said. \u201cNot just an opportunity to help protect lives and property and to be able to gauge how we navigate the flooding but an opportunity to show the rest of the country that we can get it right and be a model for them to use for their states. Everybody wants to get this right and have it done in a timely manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other coverage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WRAL <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wral.com%2Fstory%2Fnc-hurricane-flooding-response-gop-lawmakers-question-top-cooper-official%2F21247894%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMary.Moorefield%40ncleg.gov%7C23dc7f92475f4c6ba1db08dc1cfb7199%7Ccdb33c844db840fbb92401791d2b9e5b%7C0%7C0%7C638417113472839840%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ismNI1L2Dlal%2B%2BcchiS8%2BPYh8id1TzXQd5eRvybgabA%3D&amp;reserved=0\">NC hurricane, flooding response: GOP lawmakers question top Cooper official<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WUNC <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wunc.org%2Fpolitics%2F2024-01-23%2Fnc-looks-to-reduce-the-impacts-future-floods&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMary.Moorefield%40ncleg.gov%7C23dc7f92475f4c6ba1db08dc1cfb7199%7Ccdb33c844db840fbb92401791d2b9e5b%7C0%7C0%7C638417113472849214%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=labWdlbZRZku%2B9ZSHKPYzLaydiQwev%2FqDUJAK4cGKy0%3D&amp;reserved=0\">NC to launch $20 million data collection project to tackle future floods<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBS17 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs17.com\/news\/north-carolina-news\/nc-lawmakers-question-state-officials-about-storm-response\/\">NC lawmakers question state officials about storm response<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early intervention was top of mind for the members of the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations Subcommittee on Hurricane Response and Recovery on January 23.
