<br />or occurring heavy rainfall. The radar system at Pueblo is from a
<br />re~a~er type scope operated off the main tracking station at Limon,
<br />Colorado. which has a 250 mile radius. Most generally, the evalua-

<br />upon i~~ediate reports from on-the-spot observers.
<br />The NOAA Weather Service located at the Pueblo Memorial
<br />~irport supplies weather forecasts three times daily for Pueblo,
<br />Colorado and vicinity. These forecasts are disseminated to local

<br />A co~~unity flash flood reporting network of river and
<br />rainfall stations and a flood warning program developed and operated
<br />in connection with the 24~hour Weather Service facilities could
<br />minimize lo~~ of life and property in the event of a ~jor flood.
<br />Such an arrangement ~~uld require that local river and rainfal~ re-
<br />ports be promptly communicated by re~ponsible local officials to the
<br />Weather Service Office for evaluation and analysis. If available.
<br />this data and analysiS could be used by the Weather Service to ~re
<br />accurately forewarn community representatives of pOtential storm and
<br />flood conditions. this type of network is presently in ef!ect in
<br />portions of the Arkansas River Basin and, to an extremely limited
<br />extent, in other tributary areas.
