TCRFC begins update to Hazard Mitigation Action Plan

The Texas Colorado River Floodplain Coalition (TCRFC) has issued draft Proposed Amendment to add 31 new mitigation actions to the July 14, 2004 Hazard Mitigation Action Plan for the Lower Colorado River Basin entitled, “Creating a Disaster Resistant Lower Colorado River Basin.” The new mitigation actions are proposed as a result of heavy storms and rains which soaked Texas in the summer 2007, resulting in Presidential Disaster Declaration D R-1709-TX, affecting seventy-seven counties in Texas, including many in the Lower Colorado River basin. This disaster event provided updated information on the extent of the flood risk and the specific actions needed to mitigate that risk.

As FEMA continues to update the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for the nation, Coalition members can track the status of mapping projects in their counties on the TCRFC webpage. Click on the "FEMA Mapping Updates in TCRFC Counties" link on the right to see more.

To view floodplain maps and other basin mapping data, go to the TCRFC Interactive Mapping Service (TIMS), a web-based service is designed to deliver maps, track Letters of Map Change (LOMCs) and support public outreach. Take a look at http://tims.lcra.org.
