<br />The 1995 flood event demonstrated the need for mitigation plans and projects. Many <br />flood mitigation projects are needed across the state. Following the spring flood season, the <br />CWCB has been contacted by several communities which have an interest in preparing such a <br />plan prior to the next flood event in their communities. In early July, Clear Creek County, <br />Georgetown, IdaIJo Springs and Silver Plume began developing a local flood hazard mitigation <br />plan following a plarming "kick-off' meeting conducted by CWCB staff. In addition, the <br />communities of Pitkin County, Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Summit County, <br />Frisco, Breckenridge, Silverthome, MonteZUllla, Weld County, Logan County, Wiley and Grand <br />Junction have begun to seriously attempt to reduce future flood damages through the <br />implementation of flood hazard mitigation strategies. Other communities in the Eagle River <br />valley are considering similar efforts. <br />
