These entities mayor may not know the level of threat at their locotion and <br />the range of strategies that can be implemented to deal with it. Public officials <br />and managers, as stewards of these facilities, must increase protective and risk <br />management activities. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> <br />Encourage preparation and implementation of a drainage floodplain master <br />plan for every essential public facility. Master plans should include mitigation <br />oIternatjves and recommendations for implementation. Encourage that all build- <br />ings within the 100 - 500- year floodplain be identified. Any building with a <br />basement and/or a lowestfloor lower than the 500-year flood elevation needs <br />an inventory of everything Ibooks, artwork, furniture, computers, etc.) that is <br />kept below that flood level. <br /> <br />LEAD AGENCY: <br />All Colorado Executive Departments with the CWCB <br /> <br />FUNDING: <br />All Colorado Executive Departments with the CWCB <br /> <br />SCHEDULE: <br />One year <br />
