CHAPTER 7 HAZARD MITIGATION This chapter will explain what hazard mitigation is‚ and how it fits in with the other phases of emergency management. Next‚ the chapter will describe the most widely used mitigation strategies and the ways they are applied to the most common types of environmental hazards. The following section will describe the legal basis for hazard mitigation as it stands in the United States today. Problems in the adoption and implementation of mitigation policies will be described

fragmentation of river ecosystem which occurs when the dam`s water is stop from flowing into the downstream. The blocking will cause the river animal like Salmon and Trout from reaching their spawning area. Salmon is the fish that migrate to the ocean to mature and return back to the lake bed to hatch. Thus‚ the function of the dam will reduce the reproduction and the number of Salmon species. Although there are an effort to provide the dam with the ‘ladder fish’ to allow fish flow to the downstream

Being the third largest body of water in Colorado‚ it has 64.4 kilometers of shoreline (Martinez Bergersen 1991). The Granby Dam was built in 1949 for the purpose of water storage. The project was also due in part to supply water to the Front Range through the Colorado Big Thompson Project. These projects greatly changed the surrounding landscape in the area. Vegetation for the
