<br />Statc Fair: I attended the luneh the DNR hosted for its board and commission members and I also <br />attended the legislative reception. I think all were pleased by the new water exhibit and the cducational <br />kiosk.

FEMA has contracted <br />with Reclmnation and the USGS to complete two separate GIS mapping products related to the <br />wildfircs. The first product, known as "phase 1" maps, have been completed for the top priority fires <br />(i.e. Hayman, Missionary Ridge, Coal Seam, and Spring Creek) to show bum areas, burn intensities, <br />subdivision locations, communities, and potentia] flood and debris flow hazard areas (approximate <br />locations only). In addition, "phase 2" maps will be produced for the Hayman, Missionary Ridge, <br />and Coal Seam fires to show detailed flood and debris flow hazard areas using newly developed <br />hydrologic (post-fire watershed response) and hydraulic analyses using state-of-the art computer <br />modeling techniques. The phase 2 maps will be released beginning this fall (Hayman) and into next <br />spring (Coa] Seam and Missionary Ridge). CWCB will conduct technical reviews of the <br />informatiou prior to its release. <br /> <br />2) Chair the 1100d and debris flow subcommittee of the Multi-agency Restoration and Rehabilitation <br />Team (MRRT) led by DNR Assistant Director Kent Holsinger. The flood and debris flow <br />subcommittee has been attending all meetings of the MRRT to provide status updates and <br />infornJation sharing related to tcchnica] activities for post-wildfire hazard identification, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />7 <br />
