Job DutiesThe Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is the state’s lead conservation agency, providing access for outdoor recreation, strengthening communities’ flood resilience, and protecting what Virginians care about: clean water, parks, natural habitat, and open spaces.
Serving a diverse commonwealth rich in nature and culture, the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation touches all Virginians’ lives.
The mission of the DCR Office of Resilience Planning is to distribute knowledge and coordinate action to achieve a flood-resilient future for Virginia through informed planning and proactive intergovernmental solutions. Our vision is a Virginia where state-led solutions effectively confront present and future flood risks. Through aligned collective action across Virginia’s community of flood resilience partners, we work to increase resilience and minimize the impacts of flooding statewide.
We accomplish our work through four major lines of effort. We develop and implement state-led flood resilience plans: the Virginia Flood Protection Master Plan and the Coastal Resilience Master Plan. We work together with others to coordinate action. This includes staffing the Flood Resilience Advisory Committee, a public body that advises DCR on flood resilience, and hosting an Annual Flood Preparedness Coordination meeting.
We share data, information and resources with a diverse set of public and private stakeholders to support informed decision making about present and future flood risks, including through our Flood Resilience Open Data Portal. Finally, we connect with local, regional, and state governments, other stakeholders and the public to inform our plans and build general awareness about changing flood risks in Virginia.
The Office of Resilience Planning is responsible for inter-governmental and inter-agency coordination and is supported by multiple consultant teams to execute our work.
The Flood Resilience Project Manager will support the development, administration, and implementation of DCR’s flood resilience data resources through contract management and stakeholder outreach and engagement.
