County Partners with HelpColoradoNow.org to Register Volunteers Sign Up to Volunteer to Help Black Forest Residents El Paso County, CO., Wednesday, June 19, 2013 – El Paso County is partnering with HELPCOLORADONOW.ORG to make it easier for volunteers to register and offer their assistance to the residents impacted by the Black Forest Fire. “We have received an overwhelming outpouring of support from our community,” said El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, who represents the Black Forest area. “People want to help and we want you to know that this is a long term process of recovery and that your assistance will be needed for a long time.” El Paso County has received more offers of help from volunteers than it can efficiently use right now, but through the partnership with HELPCOLORADONOW.ORG the who want to help will be registered with important contact information as well as skills and schedule availability. “Together we can make the most of this tremendous outpouring from our community, added Commissioner Glenn.” Through HELPCOLORADONOW.ORG volunteers can also register to support the ongoing needs for flash flood risk mitigation efforts in the area of last year’s Waldo Canyon Fire. Volunteers are asked to fill out the comment section noting your skills, your availability for scheduling and your willingness to work on flash flooding mitigation with the Coalition For the Upper South Platte. For the residents who have already sent an email to the County’s bffvolunteer@elpaosco to register as a volunteer, their information will be given to HELPCOLORADONOW.ORG. If your information is incomplete, HELPCOLORADONOW.ORG will be contacting you directly. For more information on El Paso County’s assistance efforts go to BFFassistance
