CWP Structure

The CWP is organized around regional targets for water resilience, along with strategies and actions to support progress on these targets. The targets, strategies, and actions and their respective roles in addressing the CWP’s focal areas are defined below.

Targets:

Targets provide a quantitative representation of shared desired outcomes for regional water resilience across Los Angeles County by 2045. Targets are intended to be met through CWP strategies and actions along with other local and regional efforts. These targets provide a metric to measure and track progress implementing the CWP. A detailed discussion of target development and analysis can be found in Appendix B.

Strategies:

Fourteen overarching strategies provide the regional, collaborative approaches to achieving the targets. The strategies can be implemented through the CWP directly or indirectly through acknowledgement or support of other programs and planning efforts that have a shared purpose. More information on related planning efforts is available in Appendix C.

Actions:

Actions include specific steps that can be carried out, through an ongoing CWP implementation process, to support the strategies. As many of the larger actions may require several interim steps to be completed, the CWP contains a two-year Action Plan (Appendix A). The Action Plan provides specificity, including an initial listing of potential participants that have expressed interest in supporting each action and implementation resources that will be necessary to complete each action.
