Grizzly Creek Fire USGS Preliminary Hazard Assessment

A USGS assessment has not been developed for Pine Gulch Fire.

Grizzly Creek Post-Fire Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) report

Flood after Fire

Buy flood insurance now
Register for emergency alerts

Residents No Name, Bair Ranch, and the Pine Gulch Fire burn areas are at risk of flash flood and may remain in pre-evacuation preparation for at least a two-year period.

Prepare now
Gather supplies in case of a storm, strengthen your home against damage, and review your insurance coverages.

Flood insurance
Remember: it typically takes 30 days for a new flood insurance policy to go into effect, so get your policy now. Only flood insurance covers flood damage. Most standard homeowner’s policies do not cover flood damage.

Plan ahead
Plan evacuation routes. Keep important papers in a safe, waterproof place. Conduct a home inventory; itemize and take pictures of possessions.

CDOT: Preparing travelers for I-70 in Glenwood Canyon

Motorists should prepare for reduced speeds, no stopping in the canyon and safety closures due to debris flow and other weather-related events. CDOT also urges travelers to stay focused on the road and avoid distracted driving. If there is moderate, heavy or extreme rain in Glenwood Canyon over the Grizzly Creek burn scar, it is very likely there will be a debris flow, mudslides or rockfall. In order to maintain safety on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon, CDOT has a plan in place for protecting the traveling public when there could be a debris flow, mudslides or rockfall. View info on the flash floods tab below to prepare for flash floods.
