In late 2018, Mile High Flood District (MHFD) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) worked together to get a number of locally created Flood Hazard Area Delineation (FHAD) studies incorporated into the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs).The FHADs had been produced to identify and update flood risk potential and floodplain boundaries.
