<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- 5 - <br /> <br />There is a great need for the STP Map. In past years, the only available source for identifying flood events are <br />reports from local officials and media reports. In many cases, especially in rural areas, reports of isolated floods <br />may come in days or weeks after the fact, and sometimes, staff is never made aware of them. This makes it <br />difficult to impossible to document and respond to these events. The STP map provides a valuable source of <br />information and allows the CWCB staff to operate proactively to initiate discussions with local officials after <br />looking at information on the map and to initiate a search of reports from various media outlets and the National <br />Weather Service. In some cases, it may allow CWCB staff to notify local officials of problems in less-publicized <br />events, an invaluable service to these users following floods. Finally, the STP map provides an archival tool so that <br />immediate documentation is available for all rain-induced floods throughout the state for the entire flood season. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />This agenda item is informational for the purpose of informing the Board about activities related to potential spring <br />and early summer snowmelt flooding issues in Colorado.
