Erie, Lafayette, <br /> <br /> <br />and Superior are in the emergency program and Louisville is in the <br /> <br /> <br />regular program. These communities have adopted acceptable flood plain <br />management regulations and flood insurance coverage is available for all <br />types of walled and roofed buildings, mobile homes, and their contents <br />throughout the entire community. The unincorporated areas of Boulder <br /> <br />County and Weld County are eligible for flood insurance under the <br /> <br />emergency program. <br /> <br />INTERPRETATION AND USE OF REPORT DATA <br /> <br />Flood hazard exhibits for Coal Creek and Rock Creek are in the <br /> <br /> <br />Appendix following the text of this report.
