The CWCB will administer its expanded <br />Floodplain Mapping Program in accordance with the guidelines provided by FEMA, by <br />implementing the following program management objectives. <br /> <br />. Assess floodplain mapping and other hazard needs within Colorado on a yearly basis. <br /> <br />. Update the Business Case Plan, the prioritization parameters, and the prioritized list of <br />studies on a yearly basis. <br /> <br />. Educate the public on the risk that flood hazards pose as well as proper floodplain <br />management practices and partner with communities to collect accurate base map and <br />flood hazard information. <br /> <br />. Perform community outreach activities and conduct Initial Coordination Meetings and <br />Scoping Meetings that lead to completion of flood studies and map updates based upon <br />the yearly needs assessment and prioritization, maximizing local ownership of these <br />products. <br /> <br />. Provide new and updated digital flood hazard data to Colorado residents through the <br />Internet and other appropriate means, taking full advantage of local digital resources. <br /> <br />. Compile the digital data into a statewide base map database for use as a scoping and <br />assessment tool, and to facilitate flood hazard mapping activities in the future. <br /> <br />. Evaluate conditions and make recommendations to restudy flood hazards where <br />development occurs, watershed conditions change, maps become outdated, or new <br />information and/or methods become available. <br /> <br />The CWCB is interested in performing these duties in partnership with FEMA and local <br />governments, as we believe that only through partnership will we be able to leverage our <br />resources so that both FEMA's performance goals and CWCB's goal to provide accurate flood <br />hazard data to residents of Colorado can be achieved. <br /> <br />Pr02:ram Plan - Required Resources <br /> <br />Achieving the above objectives will require added Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) <br />production capability and increased project management and Information Technology (IT) <br />resources. The resources that the CWCB has identified to achieve the above objectives include: <br /> <br />. Engineering Consultants for DFIRM production <br /> <br />. Mapping Coordinator for program management assistance <br /> <br />. Information Technology hardware, software, and database maintenance <br /> <br />To date the CWCB has selected two contractor teams and is producing its first DFIRMs. There <br />is still, however, much ground to cover in the areas of program management and IT. There is <br />also a need for sufficient additional funding to utilize the contractors to their full capability. <br /> <br />Colorado Business Case Plan - March 2004 <br /> <br />ES-2 <br />
