Floodplain Map Modernization Update: In April, the Floodplain Mapping
Coordinator attended two U.S. Corps of Engineers Albuquerque District levee
inspections in Southern Colorado. For more information please refer to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Albuquerque District Office of Emergency Management Levee
Inspections located in this Directors Report. To address the changes that are occurring
within the FEMA and Corps levee program across the nation a Levee Seminar has been
planned to be held around the State. The announcement for the seminar has been
posted to the CWCB website. The Map Modernization team plans to inform the
communities throughout Colorado the implications of the changes that are occurring
and what to expect in the future.

The CWCB Floodplain Mapping Coordinator has attended the NFIP conference held in
Denver that was held at the end of April. Both the training and conferences have been
very helpful in maintaining knowledge of updates and changes that are constantly
taking place within the Map Modernization Program.
