<br />Mapping Plan for Colorado <br /> <br />Seven factors were entered into a spreadsheet and analyzed for the prioritization of the Colorado's <br />mapping needs. They are: <br /> <br />1. Population for each county in 2000; <br />2. A CWCB assessment of overall likelihood of success in floodplain mapping for each county. <br />3. Population growth for each county from 1990 to 2000, as a percentage; <br />4. A CWCB assessment of overall flood risk in each county; <br />5 . Average age of current FEMA map panels in each county; <br />6. Unmapped communities within each county; and <br />7. Status of each county with regard to wildfire impacts in 2002. <br /> <br />Some of the above factors were based on scores for each separate community, which were then <br />consolidated into county composite scores. Other factors were scored only by county. Weights were <br />assigned to each factor, ranging from the highest weight of 1.75 to the lowest weight of 0.6. Each county <br />was given a total score, with the highest possible score being 40.0 points. The actual county scores <br />ranged from a high score of 35.3 points to a low score of 7.4 points. Details of the county rankings are <br />provided in Section 6. <br /> <br />12/26/2002 <br /> <br />Page 10 of 38 <br />
