<br />CHAPTER V. PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY <br /> <br />A. Introduction <br /> <br />As discussed in this report, the debris flows in Glenwood Springs <br /> <br />are of a sufficient magnitude and probability to warrant structural protection <br /> <br />of buildings and property. This chapter discusses some specific defense <br /> <br />measures that could be used be!ow ~ three ~Eainage E.asin~ !ltud~ed. However <br /> <br />the defenses recommended here cannot be applied in blanket fashion to other <br /> <br />areas within the town. Because other ba:sins may produce flows or floods <br /> <br />with entirely different characteri.stics, the specific defenses recommended <br /> <br />1n this study are not applicable and could even incE',,-as~ the hazard severity <br /> <br />if applied in these other areaE. <br /> <br />I do not believe the defenses recOIlIDended can provide 'O"-~I'le~~ protection <br /> <br />because future flows may di.ffer somewhat from those recently observed. <br /> <br />However, if the recommendati"ns at e care fully appl ied they should result <br /> <br />'in a structural defense system ~bich will greatly reduce the potential <br /> <br />damage from future flows and can help in restoring peace of mind to residents <br /> <br />in areas exposed to the hazard. <br /> <br />-- 32 -- <br />
