…  Our agency is looking for areas where there is immediate threat to life or property.  Below is an email we sent out for people to signup for our listserv so we can be in contact with people about any new developments. The following email is about asking for details on properties such as I mentioned.

Any help you can provide in forwarding this info is greatly appreciated.

Take care,

The United States Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service is in the initial assessment process following the flood.  

Information is needed for this assessment by Tuesday October 1.

If you are a property owner/manager and your land has been affected, or you know of someone’s property who was afTfected, the following information is needed by Tuesday 10/1:

·         Stream channel relocation or scouring along roads or near homes.

·         Irrigation structures damaged or compromised.

·         Debris and/or sediment

With this information we need pictures and estimates of damaged units.  For example if you are near a stream and the stream has caused the banks to eroded, provide  an estimate of the area effected in linear feet and the structure/road that is compromised as a result of the damage.  If it is an irrigation structure, what system the structure is located on, the size of structure, and damage done.  Debris and/or sediment in a stream channel, please let us know an approximation of how much and where the deposition is located.

Please send this information directly to sylvia.hickenlooper@nullco.usda.gov by Tuesday 10/1.

We understand this is a short deadline, however the information you can provide us is very valuable for the initial phase of the assessment.

Thank you so much for your time regarding this matter.

The Conservation Flood Response Listserv has been created to provide a clearing house of up-to-date information pertaining to natural resource conservation and potential funds for recovery work pertaining to the recent floods.  This is a collaborative agency effort to help serve the community as we begin to rebuild.  One of the biggest challenges are the many “whys” and “how do I” questions faced when dealing with the land recovery efforts.  This information will be targeted to help the land user from small to large, help address resource concerns, and direct them to those qualified to answer their questions.
