2.6 Support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by:
(1) Encouraging occupants of flood hazard areas to purchase flood insurance.
(2) Notifying local governments of the reduction in federal disaster assistance for
damaged public structures that are under-insured; and of the reduction in federal
disaster assistance from a cost-share of 75-25 to a cost share of 25-75 for facilities
that are damaged more than once in a ten-year period by the same type of event and
the facility owner has failed to implement appropriate mitigation measures.
(3) Notifying local building inspectors of the "substantial damage and substantial
improvement" requirements, regardless of the cause of the damage or the
improvements.
(4) Including in the annual training program identified in paragraph 2.13 information for
local governments on the above, and other appropriate program guidance such as
Sections 1316, 1363, the Community Rating System, the Flood Mitigation
Assistance Program, Substantial Damage-Substantial Improvement, Residential
Substantial Damage Estimator (RSDE), Increased Cost of Compliance, the Pre-
Disaster Mitigation Program, the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the Map
Modernization Program, and the NFIP Reform Act of 2004..
(5) Encouraging communities to conduct the interactive Flood Mitigation and Recovery
Exercise (FEMA, 1995, updated for Colorado by AMEC in 2006).
(6) Emphasizing the need to develop and implement a strategy that addresses Repetitive
Losses and Severe Repetitive Losses in those communities where this is applicable,
I
if any.
2.7 Cooperate with local governments and other appropriate agencies in the planning and
installation of flood detection systems and the formulation of flood warning and flood
disaster plans.
2.8 Annually, before the flood season, encourage local governments to inspect their existing
flood detection systems and practice their existing warning plans. Provide District staff
assistance on request of local government. This task applies to those detection systems and
warning plans funded with District monies, or which the District helped prepare.
2.9 Develop and keep current, a checklist of what actions other agencies will take in the event
of a flood disaster.
2.10 Coordinate flood damage documentation responsibilities with the Colorado Water
Conservation Board (CWCB), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Army Corps of
Engineer (USACE), National Weather Service (NWS), the Colorado Division of
Emergency Management (DEM), and others. Reaffirm District responsibilities annually.
