- The Colorado Springs Office of Emergency Management provides great resource to help residents get ready for a bad day. Topics include:
- Know Your hazards (flash flooding, wildfire, severe winter weather)
- Sign up for Emergency Alerts. Not all emergency alerts provide the same information so it’s important to understand the types of alerts out there and what they provide.
- Make a Plan. Creating plans for family communications, loved ones with special needs, household matters, financial documents and evacuation are all part of being well prepared.
