CWCB: State of Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response Plan Public Meeting

From email from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (Ben Wade):

The Colorado Water Conservation Board will hold a public meeting webinar August 16th at 10am to discuss the findings and solicit feedback on the 2010 revised Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response plan. This will be a web and call-in meeting only.

The Drought Plan was comprehensively revised to comply with the FEMA’s 3-year planning cycle and is a part of the State’s Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. The revision process has resulted in a State Drought Plan that uses state of the art planning techniques to prepare Colorado for drought. The plan also includes a groundbreaking vulnerability assessment of state assets, as well as various sectors affected by drought.

When: August 16th 10am-12noon
Where: Webinar and call-in ONLY; please RSVP for web access link
Phone Access #: 303.866.3441 ext. 7627
RSVP: ben.wade@state.co.us

The State of Colorado’s DRAFT Drought Mitigation and Response Plan is now available on the CWCB website for public comment. The public comment period on the mitigation plan, the response plan, as well as all associated appendices and documentation, will officially close on August 20, 2010.
