Colorado Proposes ’Revolutionary’ Fire And Flood Warning System

Colorado leaders are looking to establish a "revolutionary" wildfire- and flood-prediction system that could give public-safety officials accurate assessments of the disasters’ movements 12 hours before they occur. To fund the system, which was developed from 20 years of studies by the Boulder-based National Center for Atmospheric Research, the Legislature would be required to pass a bill introduced Tuesday that would put $10 million to the project over the next five years.
