SECTION THREE

Program Plan

. Wildfires

· Risk of exacerbated flood hazard due to wildfire

. Erosion hazards

. Stream instability and channel migration

. Ice-jam flooding

. Landslides

. Earthquakes

. Water supply susceptibility

. Avalanches

. Other geologic hazards

As Map Modernization progresses, the CWCB will make the digital flood map information
available to agencies that are responsible for the generation and storage of this data and will
encourage multi-hazard workshops that educate the public and/or communities on multi-hazards
and the use of the DFIRM for multi-hazard purposes. The CWCB will coordinate with the
agencies below to the extent practicable to incorporate this data into the Map Modernization
effort.

. State Office of Emergency Management (OEM)

. Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR)

. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)

. Colorado Department of Transportation (CD aT)

. Colorado Geological Survey (CGS)

. Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS)

. United States Geologic Survey (USGS)

. United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

. United States Forest Service (USFS)

. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR)

. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)

3.1.8 Availability and Uses of Digital Data

The CWCB is committed to providing communities and the public with the best available tools
for flood hazard mapping. Currently, there are two general types of FEMA flood hazard
information available to the public; the new "modernized" data (or GIS-based flood hazard
mapping) and the "non-modernized" data (or old-format FIRM maps and LOMCs). The CWCB
intends to provide this information (both the "modernized" data and the "non-modernized" data)
to citizens through the UDFCD (for areas within the UDFCD boundary) and CWCB (for areas in
