<br />. <br /> <br />Attachment #10 <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />Below is the cover letter that introduces the Region VIII Hazard <br />Mitigation Reference Library: <br /> <br />Attached is a listing of reference materials available at the <br />federal Emergency Management Agency's Region VIII Hazard <br />Mitigation Office. This library has been assembled over the past <br />six months and contains some of the latest manuals, plans, <br />regulations and research dealing with floodplain management and <br />hazard mitigation. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />This small library is supplemented by a working relationship with <br />the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center <br />in Boulder, Colorado. This national clearinghouse has a large <br />hazards library and publishes a bi-monthly Natural Hazrds <br />Observer that is intended "to strengthen communication between <br />those who do the research and the planners and organizations that <br />apply this research." To obtain a subscription to the Observer, <br />FREE OF CHARGE, send your name, affiliation and address to the <br />address listed on the attached brochure, and ask to be put on the <br />mailing list. This is an excellent way to keep current on the <br />growing stock of mitigation information. FEMA will continue to <br />acquire all pertinent publications as it becomes aware of them. <br /> <br />FEMA's library also contains an index and catalogue of all the <br />work elements recommended in all of the IS-day Interagency Flood <br />Hazard Mitigation Team Reports from across the U.S. extending <br />from DR-639-Alabama through the present. <br /> <br />If you know of other publications, that are not, but should be <br />included here, please let us know so we can acquire them. Of <br />particular interest are model ordinances, management handbooks, <br />and planning guides, that relate to the mitigation of natural <br />hazards. <br />
