Governor Polis Takes Action to Ensure Continued Emergency Response Support for Colorado Disasters
DENVER - Today, Governor Polis took executive action to ensure that Colorado communities affected by the Pine Gulch, Bent's Fort, Fort Lyons, High Park, Ute Pass, and Menkhaven Fires can continue utilizing disaster emergency funds for response and recovery efforts.
This Executive Order also amends prior Executive Orders related to the historic 2013 flooding in Colorado by extending the availability of disaster funds. The extension is needed due to the State's and the federal government's timeline for the administrative closeout of projects and to ensure all local entities achieve the maximum reimbursement possible.
