URBAN DRAINAGE AND FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT FLOOD DISASTER AND MITIGATION PLAN STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES REVISED APRIL, 2007 Introduction These Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) outline, in a general way, the implementation of the District's Flood Disaster and Mitigation Plan (FDMP) (attached) for various levels of flooding or flood potential within the District boundaries. It is the responsibility of each engineer staff member to be familiar with both the SOP and FDMP and to have copies of both readily available at the office and at their home. Responsibility for implementation of the SOP will rest with the first available person from the following priority list: 1. Kevin 2. Chad 3. Dave L. Bill 7. 8. Paul David M. 4, 5. 6. Mark Ben Phone Numbers All phone numbers that may be needed to carry out this SOP are listed on pages 7 through 9 of the SOP. Receipt of Information Concerning Floods Genesis Weather Solutions, LLC (GWS) has been retained by the District to provide meteorological support to supplement the National Weather Service (NWS). Skyview Weather will serve as a sub-contractor to GWS. GWS/Skyview and NWS will confer as often as necessary to detect possible or existing flood situations. GWS/Skyview has the responsibility to inform the District and affected local governments of any flood situation they or the NWS detect. Information concerning various weather conditions will be provided to the District and local governments in the form of messages. A brief description of each message type is located in the Appendix following the last page of this SOP. Each message will contain the geographic area affected. It will probably be a fairly large area initially (such as western Adams and Denver Counties) and more specific as the situation develops. Ideally the messages should flow in sequential order, although some weather conditions may require that Message 2 or Message 3 will be the first message received. During working hours GWS/Skyview will contact the District office by phone and fax. Weather bulletins will also be posted on the Internet (http://f2p2.udfcd.org). After hours GWS/Skyview will call the priority list above until one engineer is reached. Post all current GWS/Skyview faxes on the grip strip labeled "F2P2 Messages" adjacent to the wall map in the ALERT area located along the south windows. Place older faxes in the F2P2 message tray on the ALERT area table. \f1ood\waming\fdmpsop 1 1 (4/07)
