Onaor. ewes FROM: DATE: March 16, 1993 SUBJECT: Flood Preparedness for the 1993 Spring Runoff By the March 1, 1993, Snow Survey readings, it appears that a spring flood from snowmelt is a very real possibility. As you will recall, this flood potential is not something new for us; however, we can never be too prepared. As in the past, the Board staff will be available to assist with your emergency operations. On this note, I will advise you of some actions that I feel should be implemented immediately. Notification of Flood Potential In cooperation with FEMA, Division of Water Resources, and your office, I plan to make a mailing to potential flood threatened communities advising them on the flood threat, availability of flood insurance, our April 19-24 field inspections, and an emergency response plan. The April 19-24. 1993. Field Inspections I have scheduled this week with the Corps of Engineers--Jerry Kanenaga's Office--to determine if any "advanced measures" or "flood fight" operations should be implementeci, I will facsimile you a draft copy to review. Mav 7. 1993. Emergency Preparedness Meeting I assume that you will be directing the meeting similar to the ones of the past. Let us know what you expect from the Board staff.
