FHZ Mapping for Wildfire Ready Action Plans
FHZ mapping is included in almost every Wildfire Ready Action Plan and mapping for this program comes with its own sets of opportunities and challenges. Join us for an hour to discuss some of these complexities with the CWCB TA team and peers working on these plans from around the state.
Decide where to do FHZ mapping in the Wildfire Ready Action Plan watersheds
Anticipating post-fire responses in Colorado’s streams
Using FHZs in the susceptibility analysis
Outcomes and integration into the project identification process

This is the first webinar in the new Fluvial Futures Webinar Series by the CWCB taking place every 2nd Tuesday of the Month 10:30 - 11:30 (w/ exceptions due to holidays).
In June, August, and October the TA team will presenting info on contemporary FHZ topics. In July, September, and November we will ask FHZ teams from around the state to talk about their projects and processes. Open Q&A with the CWCB TA team and presenters will follow each presentation. More details to come!
COLORADO FLUVIAL HAZARD MAPPING PROGRAM TRAINING MODULE 2: OPTION 2
In-Person: Longmont
Building off of Module 1 we will apply an understanding of the hydrologic, geomorphic, and biotic context of a stream corridor system to determine geomorphic trajectory and sensitivity. We will then apply this context to delineating FHZ mapping components based on the methods outlined in the Colorado Water Conservation Board FHZ Mapping Protocol (v1.0). We will learn and apply GIS tools for mapping the FHZ and also conduct a field trip in which we will make and integrate field based observations into our FHZ delineations.
COLORADO FLUVIAL HAZARD MAPPING PROGRAM TRAINING MODULE 1: OPTION 2
Virtual Option
Participants will be introduced to stream corridor processes (physical and biological) and the various ways of defining them. You will explore more and less compatible management practices and opportunities within stream corridors. Participants will identify and understand the fundamental processes and components of Fluvial Hazard Zone maps and how the FHZ Mapping Program can be applied to manage the stream corridors under their purview.
