Governor Polis Verbally Declares Disaster Declaration to Protect People During Winter Cold Snap and Storm

Governor Jared Polis verbally issued a disaster declaration authorizing use of the Colorado National Guard to ensure people can access the resources they need to stay safe during the winter cold snap and storm. The order activates the Colorado State Emergency Operations Plan and directs the Department of Public Safety and its Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to take all necessary and appropriate state actions to assist the affected jurisdictions with their response, recovery, and mitigation efforts. Temperatures are projected to drop into single digits with wind chills below zero.
“No one should freeze to death in our state for lack of shelter. We are working with cities and local communities to ensure that everyone has a warm place to go during this extreme cold snap,” said Governor Jared Polis.


Safety Tips:

Avoid unnecessary travel and outdoor activities.
Move animals to sheltered areas or bring pets inside.
If traveling check cotrip.org for road conditions and prepare your vehicle with an emergency kit and supplies.
Dress in layers if you go outside.

El Gobernador Jared Polis emitió verbalmente una declaración de desastre autorizando el uso de la Guardia Nacional de Colorado para garantizar que los habitantes de Colorado puedan acceder a los recursos que necesitan para mantenerse seguros durante la tormenta invernal. La orden activa el Plan de Operaciones de Emergencia del Estado de Colorado y ordena a la Oficina de Manejo de Emergencias que tome todas las acciones estatales necesarias y apropiadas para ayudar a las jurisdicciones afectadas con sus esfuerzos de respuesta, recuperación y mitigación. Se prevé que las temperaturas caigan a un solo dígito con sensación térmica bajo cero. “Nadie debería morir congelado en nuestro estado por falta de refugio. Estamos trabajando con las ciudades y las comunidades locales para garantizar que todos tengan un lugar cálido al que ir durante esta ola de frío extremo”, dijo el Gobernador Jared Polis.
