Figure 1. High Risk Counties for Flooding

Information presented in Table 4 provides a profile of the damages and losses in
Colorado communities from January 1978 through July 2007. According to FEMA
NFIP information, the State of Colorado has 40 repetitive loss stmctures. Stmctures
are located in 18 counties as indicated in Table 6.

The data presented in Table 7 was developed from information in the Community
Information System, which is paIi of the FEMA database for the NFIP. Communities
and unincorporated areas of counties participating in the program are asked to report on
population and stmctures at risk and other items of interest. Some communities have not
determined the population or stmctures at risk in their area. These are represented by
zeroes. CWCB will strongly encourage all communities to provide information related to
population or stmctures at risk and to include this information in the development of local
flood hazard mitigation plans.
