<br />flooding. The Q3 flood data was merged into a single comprehensive data layer that <br />provides shapefiles of both the 100- and 500-year flood hazard zones. Although only 9 <br />of 64 counties were represented in the existing Q3 layer, these nine counties represented <br />those with the largest populations that are most likely to be impacted by floods. <br /> <br />Presently, the information provided by the Q3 Flood Data Product is being supplemented <br />by the data provided through FEMA's national Multi-hazard Map Modernization <br />Program. Upon FEMA request, the CWCB prepared an implementation plan for the Map <br />Modernization of Colorado communities. One of the objectives of this program is to <br />compile digital data into a statewide base map database for use as a scoping and <br />assessment tool, and to facilitate flood hazard mapping activities. Most of the 64 <br />counties in Colorado have been identified for flood hazard mapping activities in the <br />Colorado Flood Map Modernization Business Case Plan-Final Draft, Fiscal Years 2004- <br />2008. To date, flood hazard mapping activities have been completed and effective <br />mapping produced for the following counties: Denver, Jefferson, Adams, Douglas, <br />Broomfield, Routt, Pitkin, and Clear Creek. Preliminary mapping has been produced for <br />Arapahoe, Boulder, Larimer, Weld, Eagle, and Grand counties. Flood hazard mapping <br />activities are presently on-going in Pueblo, Mesa, Fremont, Garfield, La Plata, <br />Montezuma, Teller, and Archuleta counties. The present status of the Map <br />Modernization Program in Colorado is depicted in Table 5. <br /> <br />ASSESSING VULNERABILITY BY JURISDICTION <br /> <br />A. Vulnerability Based on Local and State Risk Assessments <br /> <br />The 2004 update to the NHMP 2001 umbrella document contains information on the risk <br />evaluation that was conducted in 2003 and 2004. Risk Assessment Forms were sent out <br />to various entities throughout the state. Responses to the survey were received from the <br />local emergency managers and contain references to other local/regional documents that <br />identify flood risk for the area (e.g., county hazard mitigation plans, emergency <br />operations plans, etc.). It was noted that several counties did not respond to the initial <br />survey and have not yet completed a local hazard mitigation plan. It is recommended that <br />the completion of these local hazard mitigation plans be made a priority during the next <br />update cycle, and that this information be incorporated into the next update. CWCB will <br />also strongly encourage local entities to include this information in a flood hazard <br />mitigation plan. <br /> <br />')" <br />~.) <br />
