<br />Chapter Five: Hazard <br />Mitigation Recommendations <br /> <br />Numerous issues and recommendations have been identified to help solve <br />Colorado's major interface fire protection problems (see Chapter Four). <br />Responsibility for implementing these solutions falls upon a variety of <br />entities from all levels of government, businesses and individual <br />landowners. <br /> <br />This chapter lists each specific Issue, provides brief background <br />information and outlines the actions needed to help mitigate the major <br />problem. Estimated project costs (in 1995 dollars), involvement and <br />recommended implementation time frames are also included. <br /> <br />The symbol * I * separates lead roles from support roles among the listed <br />responsible "Agencies." Lead entities are to the left of the symbol, and <br />support agencies are to the right of the symbol. <br /> <br />The lead entity is responsible for coordinating the action in each issue, <br />tracking progress, and reporting results. In some Issues, multiple leaders <br />are identified. Implemenation funds are not the pre-requisite for a lead <br />agency. <br /> <br />A reference table of lead responsibilities for Issues by entity level is <br />shown in Table 1 on page 40. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Problem A: Education and Awareness <br /> <br />Issue A.I: Listing of Materials Available <br />Background: Federal, SLate, local and private entities have developed educational <br />materials and programs to address Lhe wildland/urban interface and wildfire hazard in <br />general.
