SECTIONTWO Program Plan • Erosion hazards • Stream instability and channel migration • Ice jam flooding • Landslides • Earthquakes • Water supply susceptibility • Avalanches • Other geologic hazards As Map Modernization progresses, the CWCB will make the digital flood map information available to agencies that are responsible for the generation and storage of this data and will encourage multi-hazard workshops that educate the public and/or communities on multi-hazards and the use of the DFIRM for multi-hazard purposes. The CWCB will coordinate with the agencies below to the extent practicable to incorporate this data into the Map Modernization effort. • State Office of Emergency Management (OEM) • Colorado Division of Water Resources (SEO) • Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) • Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) • Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) • Colorado State Forest Service • United States Geologic Survey (USGS) • United States Forest Service (USFS) • Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) 2.1.8 Availability and Uses of Digital Data The CWCB is committed to providing communities and the public with the best available tools for flood hazard mapping. Currently, there are two general types of FEMA flood hazard information available to the public; the new "modernized" (or GIS-based flood hazard mapping) and the "non-modernized" (or old-format FIRM maps and LOMCs). The CWCB intends to provide this information (both the "modernized" data and the "non-modernized" data) to citizens through the UDFCD (for areas within the UDFCD boundary) and CWCB (for areas in Colorado but outside of the UDFCD). As the UDFCD currently serves as the repository for information within their jurisdiction, the section below details the role the CWCB will fulfill as a repository for information pertaining to areas outside of the UDFCD boundary. Modernized NFIP Data - The CWCB will encourage communities to use DFIRM data within their existing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) by making this information available to them electronically. Additionally, the CWCB will work to make the information available to the Colorado Business Case Plan (Final Draft) 2-11
