Do you have a family communications plan? When you're trying to evacuate, you don't have time to answer 23 calls. Designate a friend in a different region who you'll contact when it's safe to do so and that person can share updates with others.

While driving, when you see a vehicle on the side of the road with flashing hazard lights, it is now CO State Law to move into the next lane, if applicable. If there is not a lane to move into you must slow down to below 20 MPH of the Posted Speed Limit. It will save a life!

This summer, @USFSRockyMtns conducted two prescribed burns in the Pike National Forest, burning 250 acres. Healthy forests are important to Denver Water because our water flows through forest land before it reaches our reservoirs. More: bit.ly/3KLV9ji @RestoreRockies
