Northern Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annual Report Now Available
Posted on: Nov-10-2014
Fort Collins Utilities participates in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System (CRS). The CRS is an incentive program for communities to go above and beyond the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) minimum standards for floodplain management.Based on this rating system, residents and businesses within Fort Collins’ city limits receive discounts on their flood insurance premiums. As a result of its proactive work, Fort Collins is able to offer one of the largest discounts in the country.
One activity credited by the CRS is an annual review of the Northern Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This review is required to be submitted to the media and is available at https://www.fcgov.com/oem. You also may contact Utilities at 970-221-6700 or utilities@fcgov.com to request a copy.
The Northern Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan was last updated in 2010. The plan assesses vulnerabilities to both natural and man-made hazards and recommends mitigation strategies for the various hazards. The plan is scheduled to be updated in 2015.
To review the plan or for questions about the annual report, contact Mike Gavin, Emergency Manager, Poudre Fire Authority at 970-416-2878 or migavin@poudre-fire.org.
