CBA1962—Valley Protection Alliance CBA

Below is a placeholder video, until we prepare a unique video introduction for CBA1962.

Summary:

The Valley Protection Alliance (VPA) CBA unites cities, landowners, industries, and infrastructure agencies across the Green River Valley to secure one of Washington State’s most economically vital regions from catastrophic flooding. The valley’s long history—from the 1962 dedication of the Howard Hanson Dam to the near-failure of 2009—shows that no single jurisdiction can manage regional hydrological risk. The recent December 2025 flooding reaffirmed this truth, revealing the limits of fragmented protection efforts and the urgent need for a coordinated, long-horizon strategy. VPA provides a constitutional governance framework that aligns incentives, coordinates investment, and issues a Value-Linked Currency (VLC) tied to verified reductions in valley-wide flood vulnerability. By restoring confidence and stabilizing property values, the alliance protects the distribution centers, agricultural lands, and commercial districts that anchor the regional economy. Most importantly, VPA makes it possible to implement a viable, technologically advanced, and hydro-geologically innovative strategy capable of delivering the long-term protection the valley has always needed.
