This plan provides a general profile of mapping needs for Colorado utilizing statistical data, some of which is specific to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The plan focuses on the highest priority counties in Colorado, including the municipalities within those counties, and the floodplain mapping need of those counties. 25% of the counties in Colorado (16 counties), have been identified as "high priority". CWCB proposes to initiate work in at least 10 of those 16 counties in FY 2003. The remainder of this plan will outline the roles the State and FEMA Region VIII will play in addressing the needs of the remaining 48 Colorado Counties in future years.
The Colorado Drought & Water Supply Assessment is the first statewide project to determine how prepared Colorado has been for drought and identify measures that will better prepare us for the next drought.
