Flash Flood Awareness & Tips
Flood waters is a coast-to-coast threat. Be proactive and educated on what to do before, during and after a flood.
The Front Range of Colorado has experienced a large-scale rain event and damaging floods in many areas. Boulder Creek did not run over the so-called “100-year” level but many smaller creeks have. Other hard hit areas include Jamestown, Longmont, Lyons, The Big Thompson Canyon and many communities to the East. Also, many small communities in the mountains and particularly those affected by recent wildfires have large damages. Some areas can be described as wiped out. The initial rescue and recovery effort is still underway. Access is very limited. Please help your neighbors if you have resources to do so. This link shows updates: Boulder Emergency Operations
