<br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> <br />Develop flood hazard awareness materials for the general public to include the <br />following topics: 1) local emergency warning systems and procedures; 2) flood <br />insurance [need and availability) and 3) instructions and safety information for <br />individuals and families on disaster preparedness. Possible approaches include: <br /> <br />o Print/ broodcast public service announcements <br />olnformotion included in local phone books <br />o Brochures and information pamphlets for stores, libraries and other <br />public places <br />o Information printed on grocery bags <br />o Construction of memorial/education porks with historical flood <br />information and safety tips <br />o World Wide Web home pages for disaster awareness <br /> <br />LEAD AGENCIES: <br /> <br />Colorado OEM, CWCB, Colorado Natural Hazard Mitigation Council, Ameri- <br />can Red Cross <br /> <br />FUNDING: <br /> <br />FEMA, Colorado OEM, CWCB, Colorado Natural Hazards Mitigation <br />Foundation, American Red Cross, private foundations <br /> <br />SCHEDULE: <br /> <br />Immediate and on-going <br /> <br />ISSUE: <br />EC-2 Lack of access for local government officials to information regarding <br />floodplain management, flood hazard mitigation and flood insurance <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />The issues surrounding flood hazard reduction are not always a priority in com- <br />munities. This results from several factors. First, flooding does not occur frequently <br />enough in most communities to be in the forethought of most local officials. <br />Second, personnel turnover is a fundamental reason that local floodplain ad- <br />ministrators are not always educated about the specifics of floodplain manage- <br />ment. Therefore, there is a significant need to provide the means and institu- <br />tional tools for improved access to floodplain management, flood hazard miti- <br />gation and flood insurance information. <br />
