hile Boulder County's natural
beauty contributes to our
quality of life, our abundant
wilderness also makes the
county more prone to disasters,
such as wildfire, blizzards, flash flooding,
and severe weather. The Boulder Office of
Disaster Management (ODM) shares with
the City of Boulder responsibility for planning,
preparedness, and coordination during those
likely disasters.
During a disaster, the Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) is activated; employees
from Boulder County, the City of Boulder,
and partner agencies come together in the
EOC to provide support and coordination
for information sharing, communication, and
consequence management. As an example,
ODM supports: sheltering operations for
people, animals, and livestock; coordination
of transportation; resources for first responders;
and a call center for community members'
inquiries.
" Even though we have an excellent
disaster response system, it still relies heavily
on individual preparedness, " said ODM
Director Mike Chard. " We ask that community
members take whatever action they
can to be more resilient ahead of times
of disasters. "
