<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The purpose of this Pre-Scoping report is to provide a foundation for the, <br />proposed Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sponsored Flood <br />Insurance restudy (FIS). The proposed FIS covers all incorporated and un- <br />incorporated areas of EI Paso County, Colorado. <br /> <br />For a detailed list of community information for all communities see <br />Community Information Summary Table in Appendix A following this <br />summary report. The Pre-Scoping report will be used by FEMA and FEMA's <br />technical contractor to develop the FIS' Scope of Work. <br /> <br />This entire document along with digital copies of the associated maps and <br />tables can be found on the CD that accompanies this Technical Support Data <br />Notebook (TSDN). A copy of this report will be stored on the Sharepoint <br />website and available for download. <br /> <br />II. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION AND CONTACT VERIFICATION <br /> <br />A community contact list was acquired from FEMA's CIS database. Each <br />community was notified by letter that the Region VIII RMC was assembling <br />information to produce a Pre-Scoping Report for EI Paso County. In this <br />letter, it stated that a representative from the Region VIII RMC would be in <br />contact with a community representative to determine if there is any GIS data <br />that the community has created that could be used to enhance the FIS. <br />Copies of the Community Notification letters can be reviewed in Appendix C. <br />Each community was then contacted to verify contact information for <br />community CEO, Floodplain Administrator, and (in cases of counties and <br />large cities) GIS personnel. At that time, information about available GIS data <br />was gathered. An updated community contact list is included in Appendix B. <br />Information on available GIS data is included in the Available Data Review <br />provided in Appendix D. <br /> <br />III. <br /> <br />EFFECTIVE DATA COLLECTION <br /> <br />FIS/FIRMs <br />All available FIS reports FIRMs, FHBMs, and/or FBFMs were collected for EI <br />Paso County from the FEMA Map Service Center and are included on the <br />disc accompanying this report. The Community Information Summary Table <br />in Appendix A includes a summary of the available information and the <br />effective map date. <br /> <br />Community Statistics <br />Information regarding community demographics and NFIP-related statistics <br />were obtained from various sources including FEMA's Community Information <br />
