Progress
Report Now Available for Louisville and Jefferson County
Floodplain Management Plan
A Progress Report is now available at a location near you. The
2001 report outlines a variety of continuing activities and
projects implemented by the City of Louisville, Jefferson County,
MSD, and other agencies to coordinate floodplain management and to
reduce flood losses within our community.
The
Louisville/Jefferson County Floodplain Management Plan is a
comprehensive plan identifying Louisville and Jefferson County's
floodplain inventory and challenges by watershed. Along with the
hazard inventory maps, other maps show areas in the community at
risk for flooding, locations of sirens and critical facilities,
and mitigation projects. Chronicled in the plan is our community's
history of flooding, a summary of the Advisory Committee
partnership, and a description of current programs being
implemented to mitigate chronic flood losses.
Adopted by
the city and county in February 2000, the Louisville/Jefferson
County Floodplain Management Plan outlines an Action Plan for the
next five years. The comprehensive plan is available for review at
any of the sites listed below, except at the government center.
Developed by
an Advisory Committee, the 2001 Progress Report reviews what has
been completed in our community to accomplish goals set in the
Action Plan. Current projects range from placing flood gauges in
viaducts, to making recommendations for the Floodplain Ordinance,
to mapping our community's open space. The report outlines the
status of existing projects, describes actions taken by various
agencies and organizations to reduce flood losses, and identifies
the need for further action.
