Although land use decisions are often controversial, when they are carefully planned and implemented, enormous savings in life and property can be realized in time. In Colorado, flood warning systems and effective land use decisions are implemented mainly by action at the local level. Therefore, this plan emphasizes mitigation activities that will essentially support local efforts. The goals, recommendations and actions for this plan were derived from several sources in the planning process. Goals and objectives from the 2004 update to the NHMP 2001 umbrella document were reviewed. Additional goals were identified as needed. Finally, recommendations and actions were developed.
