A neighbor-run information site, not an official website. It gathers public flood information in one place, and a few local volunteers check it. If you go out to help on your own, you're self-dispatching at your own risk: the county asks volunteers not to self-deploy. La Plata County is the official source, so check with them first.

Why this site existsFlood help is scattered. We put it in one place.Read more

After a flood, information is everywhere. This site puts it in one place.

  • Scattered newsCounty updates, Facebook groups and group texts, all in different places.
  • Help takes timeOfficial programs take time to get going, and many neighbors need help now.
  • One placeWe gather it here, so it's easier to find help and to offer it.

La Plata County is the official body. Go to them first.

This site is separate from the county. Neighbors run it, a few local volunteers check it, and no one here assigns or tracks volunteers. Information can be out of date, and volunteers go at their own risk.

Where we fitThe county is official. This site just gathers information.Read more

Two separate things: official help from the county, and neighbors helping neighbors here.
