Did you know that 267 Colorado cities and towns, and all of Colorado’s 64 counties; have been identified as being at risk for flooding? Colorado’s landscape and ever-changing weather not only creates a beautiful state, but it also creates potentially powerful flood hazard.
Floods can be one of the most damaging natural disasters. The extensive flooding along the Front Range in September 2013 showed just how real the flood threat is in Colorado. No matter where you live, work or play in the mountains, big cities, small towns or out on the plains, you can be impacted by a flood.

With the official start of Spring still over a week away, above average temperatures continue this week, along with increased fire danger Sunday.
Be Prepared - Flood and Wildfire Safety Week
The National Weather Service wants everyone in the United States to be part of a Weather-Ready Nation. Colorado has more than its fair share of floods, flash floods, and wildfires. You should be weather-alert and weather-ready, knowing how to stay safe when floods and wildfires affect your area.

“Kids got the kites up this morning down at the schoolyard,” Dud said, slipping into his chair and flipping his coffee mug to the upright and fillable position in one smooth move.
Doc nodded and spread jam on his toast. He likes grape.
“Any special shapes this year?”
“Didn’t see any,” Dud said. “Same old diamond shapes, mostly.”
“Now back when I was a kid,” Herb chimed in, “we had box kites, too. Sometimes…”
Doc grinned. “Never could make one of them. Too complicated. Just got those diamond ones, because they came almost ready to fly.”

GRIEF OR JOY
“A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. Proverbs 10:1
By U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Conservation Director John Gale
In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt came to Colorado for a three-week bear hunting trip. Perhaps inspired by Colorado’s beauty, that same year, he created the U.S. Forest Service to manage lands for public use. In 1906, he signed the Antiquities Act, which has since led to the designation of over 100 national monuments. These were some of the first and most important steps to recognize our national treasures such as our mountains, rivers, forests, and prairies.
