LYONS COLORADO FLOOD HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

Homeowner permission was needed for
conducting site profiles in order to
determine the mitigation needed for each
property. OEM provided flood information
packets containing Right of Entry
Agreement Forms (which allowed OEM
employees to enter a premises) and Site
Profile Forms (which were used to record
observations and make suggestions for
mitigation).

On Oct. 15, representatives from the ARC,
OEM and the Boulder County Sheriffs
Department organized and presented, to the
flood victims, a general overview of the
NCCC program and the various types of
structural mitigation that could be done.
The information packets were also handed
out at this time. It was stressed that the
NCCC's work would be at no charge to
property owners and agreement of
participation would be decided
independently by the owners.

Center for Community Development and
Design. The Department of Local Affairs
and Division of Local Government would
supply required resources and technical
expertise needed during this project.
