Background

The Mile High Flood District (MHFD) has completed a Flood Hazard Area Delineation (FHAD) study in cooperation with the City and County of Denver and the City of Aurora. The original flood study for Westerly Creek was conducted in the 1990s. This new FHAD study offers an up-to-date understanding of flood risk based on current data and modern technology. The results of this study will allow residents and local authorities to make informed decisions to help protect people, property, and the environment. Flood awareness is important for the safety of all residents.

The new FHAD study includes:

  1. Updated ground elevation data
  2. Updated land use information
  3. Updated rainfall data
  4. Modern computer modeling and mapping methods
