Public Preparedness Information

Timely, accurate information is critical before, during and after an emergency. The Colorado Division of Emergency Management tries to ensure the general public and the media are informed of emergency situations that could affect public safety, health, and property.

While we may never be able to control Mother Nature's fury and prevent every other type of emergency, there are several things you can do to protect yourself. Create a Family Disaster Plan; assemble a Home Emergency Kit; and keep a Car Emergency Kit in every vehicle. Be aware of hazards around your home and community which might endanger your family. Be informed about how to protect yourself in an emergency situation.
