This has been an unprecedented time for Colorado with the recent flooding. We are sensitive to the fact that you or someone you know may have been impacted personally or professionally, and in some cases, both. We want to be a resource for you and will continue to provide information as we can. Even as the weather improves and the immediate flooding recedes, the impact on our State will take years to overcome. As of yesterday, the numbers coming out of the Colorado Office of Emergency Management are staggering: 5 Fatalities 1, 253 Reported Missing 11, 750 People Evacuated 26 Shelters Open 1,502 Residential Structures Destroyed 17,494 Residential Structures Damaged The Colorado Department of Transportation is assessing millions and millions of dollars in damage to bridges and roads. We will be looking into ways we can help over the coming months, but for now please visit our new webpage to assist if you need help or have help to offer. We will continue to send out updates and information through email and on our Chamber and BRC Facebook pages. Recovering from this kind of disaster is going to take all of us, working together and sharing resources.
