1Official: La Plata County
The county is the official body for the flood response. Start here for updates, and to volunteer through official channels.
These official programs are separate from this site. They don't organize or track the neighbor-to-neighbor help below.
2Help now: neighbors helping neighbors
This site gathers what neighbors in each zone have reported needing, and requests they posted. It isn't organized or supervised by anyone, including the county. Information can be out of date.
The county is asking volunteers not to go into affected areas on their own, so if you go, it's at your own risk.
3What can you bring?

Tap all that fit. Nothing is saved.
How much time do you have?
Work zones
Neighborhoods with parking and current needs. The county asks volunteers not to self-deploy. If you go, it's your choice and your risk.
Individual requests from neighbors
From public posts in community groups. These are not checked: you coordinate directly with the person, at your own risk.
Before you go
This site doesn't give safety advice. For flood cleanup hazards, read the official guidance from OSHA. If you go, it's your choice and your risk.
