Grand County is working to bring the National Flood Insurance Program to residents and businesses locally who face higher flood risks following the East Troublesome Fire.
In order to participate in the flood insurance program, Grand County’s Office of Emergency Management and Community Development have created draft floodplain regulations, which include permits for development in floodplain areas and development requirements to minimize flooding damage.
