1. Introduction <br />This document was prepared by the Regional Management Center VIII (RMC 8) staff of Michael <br />Baker Jr., Inc. in Lakewood, Colorado. RMC 8 is the local office of the National Service <br />Provider (NSP) established to support FEMA Region VIII. The NSP is the team of contractors <br />selected by FEMA to help manage and implement FEMA’s Multi-Hazard Flood Map <br />Modernization (Map Mod). <br />FEMA has identified La Plata County, Colorado for a possible flood map update. The purpose <br />of this Pre-Scoping report is to aid the scoping effort by providing a collection of background <br />information of the county and the communities within it. This includes requesting information <br />via questionnaire from the county and communities and summarizing the current FEMA NFIP <br />data & demographic data. The new DFIRM and FIS will combine all incorporated and <br />unincorporated areas of La Plata County into a single countywide DFIRM and FIS product. This <br />Pre-Scoping report was created at the request of FEMA and it will be distributed to any party <br />requested by FEMA and/or the state. <br />In addition to this hardcopy report, a digital version of this report is also available. This digital <br />report contains some additional full table outputs that are too large to include in the printed <br />report. A third product created during the Pre-Scoping efforts is the WISE Scoping Tool Project. <br />The digital Pre-Scoping report is uploaded and stored on FEMA’s Mapping Information Portal <br />(MIP) at <br />J:\FEMA\R08\[STATE]_08\[county_FIPS]\[county_FIPS]\[project <br />. The WISE Scoping Tool Project is uploaded and <br />number]\R08_RMC\Scoping\_SupportingDocs <br />stored on FEMA’s Mapping Information Portal (MIP) at <br />J:\FEMA\R08\[state]_08\[county_FIPS]\[county_FIPS]\[project <br />number]\R08_RMC\Scoping\_Databases. <br />This report was compiled in the most comprehensive fashion possible based upon the data that <br />was provided and available at the time. The study contractor should verify the completeness and <br />accuracy of the data presented herein. <br />
