Description: The Boulder Flood Mural is designed to be an interactive art piece that incorporates several key messages about flood safety in Boulder. There is a ruler that indicates the different flood levels Boulder may experience including the 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 25-year, historic Sept 2013 flood, 50-year and 100-year floods. Within each of these different recurrence intervals, there is a fact about flood awareness in Boulder. Key messages include:
- Keep debris and trash out of streams and ditches
- What does a ‘flood year’ mean and its probability
- Boulder is #1 flash flood risk community in Colorado
- What to do in the event in a flood (move to higher ground and don’t drive through floodwaters)
