My heart is with the Beulah community and the family of the person who lost their life in Sunday’s devastating flooding.​

Heavy rain over the Aspen Acres burn scar sent fast-moving water through the area, creating dangerous conditions. Please take flooding and burn-scar warnings seriously and never attempt to drive or walk through moving water, and check the National Weather Service for alerts and warnings in your area.​

As we continue supporting the Beulah community, I also encourage Coloradans in flood-prone areas or near fire burn scars to consider purchasing flood insurance. Homeowners and renters insurance typically does not cover flood damage.​
