Fort Collins' Oak Street Stormwater effort is the third-most expensive project in city history. It's designed to pipe water underneath Old Town during heavy rains.

A Boulder Creek flood mitigation project is moving forward, but it faces challenges with permitting and open space allocation. City staff need approval to make room on open space for a flood wall. Tim Drugan with Boulder Reporting Lab joined us to talk about the latest in a years-long saga.

Nearly 75% of Colorado’s prisons are vulnerable to climate-related hazards, but most of these prisons are not prepared for it, according to research from the University of Colorado-Boulder.

New analysis from Headwaters Economics visualizes flood risks for communities across the United States, as well as key demographic and other data that show the level of vulnerability to such disasters.

In September 2013, a large storm system dropped unusually heavy rain over the mountains and foothills of Northern Colorado, resulting in destructive floods that inundated a number of Front Range communities. Ten years later, we're looking at how those floods changed the way communities get ready to meet the next natural disaster.

Last weekend, Northern Colorado communities gathered to acknowledge the anniversary of historic floods that hit the region 10 years ago. Glen Haven, an area just north of Estes Park, was badly damaged. Residents, first responders, and elected officials gathered in the rebuilt town hall on Saturday to remember the flooding.

Ten years after Colorado's 2013 floods, many people who lived in mobile homes have struggled to get funding and new housing.

In the time since 2013's floods, the immediate damage has been repaired. But even now, a decade later, projects to make sure communities like Longmont are prepared to weather the next big storm are still underway.

Ten years ago, intense flooding came to Northern Colorado. The floods destroyed homes, roadways and bridges and left Front Range communities dealing with the after effects for years. The disaster left a mark on those who lived through it. To look back at the flood a decade ago and what's happened since, KUNC’s Nikole Robinson Carroll spoke with Luke Runyon.

Climate and Environment Reporter Tim Drugan joined us to discuss the Upper Goose Creek and Two Mile Creek flood plans.
