This may be a better tool to link to the Internet than just the database itself, since <br />some of the information can then be displayed graphically, <br /> <br />The Steering Committee and the CWCS hope that data will eventually be gathered for all of Colorado's <br />communities. Some of the basic data: number of homes and businesses in the floodplain, total area in <br />floodplains, etc. can be gathered during Community Assistance Visits, which are conducted by CWCS <br />staff. As this data is collected, it will be added to the Needs Database. <br /> <br />Although the response to the questionnaires has produced a relatively comprehensive database for <br />floOdplain information and future needs for Colorado's communities, the lack of complete data for every <br />community in Colorado must be taken into account when examining the results of queries applied to the <br />data. <br /> <br />The staff of the CWCS and the consultant used the database information to project values for mitigation <br />needs, floodplain mapping needs, and stream rehabilitation needs for all Colorado counties.
