In response to these conditions, the <br />CWCB Flood Protection Program has been issuing flood reports and snowpack maps for three major basins and <br />portions of other basins that are considered to be at risk, at least for the time being, for snowmelt flooding. The <br />flood reports are designed to update interested parties and coordinate with local governments throughout the runoff <br />season.
