21 Better Practices in Mitigation REMEMBER: Evolution of Best Practices History + new info = new best practices. If you could rebuild it all over again, would you do it the same way? Chris Sturm, CWCB Stream Team Leader,
22 Better Practices in Mitigation Recommendation #1: Treat wildfire disasters as a prelude to flood disasters A watershed burns, then it floods Manage wildfire as an imminent flood threat 22 Photos: Kevin Houck, 2013
23 Better Practices in Mitigation Recommendation #2: Wildfire is a watershed problem fix it at the source To mitigate floods, mitigate fires before they occur Mitigating one disaster reduces impacts of the other It is better to change the manner in which a man perceives the world than it is to change the world he perceives. -- Martin Booth, A Very Private Gentleman,
24 Better Practices in Mitigation Recommendation #3: Communicate about ALL hazards Establish flood warning systems before fires Use all available media and methods to connect 24 Photo: Varrella, 2013 Facebook Post from the Larimer Co. Sherriff, 2013
25 Better Practices in Mitigation Recommendation #4: Collaborate as a watershed (Stream Teams) One watershed, many resources, many solutions Private stakeholders + govt. agencies + non-govt. orgs. Photo: Mouttet, 2013 Photo: Varrella,
26 Better Practices in Mitigation Recommendation #5: Break the fire-flood-erosion damage cycle Manage forest resources as assets Pre-disaster flood mitigation should have ecological components 26 Photo: Mouttet, 2013 Photo: Varrella, 2013
27 Better Practices in Mitigation Break the Fire-Flood-Flood Damage Cycle: Mitig $ Water Quality Flash Floods 27 Erosion Debris
28 Better Practices in Mitigation Recommendation #6: Identify & regulate HAZARD BUFFERS FIRMs don t show all flood hazards Erosion ignores FIRM boundaries Setbacks save lives Channel migration functions are assets NBF = A-OK 28 Photo: Terry Martin, ICON Engineering, 2013
29 Better Practices in Mitigation Recommendation #7: More helicopters Photo: Randy Gustafson, City of Greeley,
