<br />Saca County <br /> <br /> <br />-' <br /> <br />~-- - <br />~J~'(' <br /> <br />.:~ . ~. ~:.. . ..~~~-' . <br /> <br />Damage to County Road C Within the <br />Carrizo Creek Watershed <br /> <br />Figure 4.1-5 <br /> <br />while Figure 4.1-6 depicts damage and inundated fields along County Road <br />39 in southeastern Baca County. Figure 4.1-7 highlights where these FEMA <br />damages occurred. Short-term flooding also was observed on Highway 160 <br />near and within the Town of Walsh. <br /> <br />No additional information was available concerning flooding on state or <br />federal highways or the extent of flooding in natural watersheds. <br /> <br />4.1.7 Emergency Response Effort <br /> <br />Since very little flooding occurred within incorporated areas, the potential <br />damage to inhabited structures was minimal. Consequently, little <br />information was available to describe the emergency response to the <br />localized flooding. The August 14 edition of the Plainsman Herald does show <br />the road crews plowing water off Highway 287 north of Springfield on <br />August 6 following the rainfall that began on the 5th (see Figure 4-1.3). In <br />addition, highway crews positioned a digital sign on northbound Highway <br />287 south of Springfield to warn drivers of water on the roads (Figure 4-1.8). <br />Neither the County Sheriff's Office nor the Commissioners' office indicated <br />that other emergency response efforts occurred. <br /> <br />d479/chap4-1.doc 08/13/98 <br /> <br />4.1-10 <br />
