Please note: This portal is for reporting damage and needs. It is not an application for financial assistance.
EVACUATION ZONES: All low-lying and flood prone areas along the San Juan, Rio Blanco, Navajo and Piedra Rivers remain under an Evacuation Order.
WELFARE CHECKS: Sheriff’s Office deputies and National Guard personnel continue to be in the community checking on homes and residents, and red or yellow flags are still being placed on homes and property. These flags indicate the property has been checked, so please do not remove any flags or tape.
