Following the flooding impacting Archuleta County this month, many residents and local businesses may find impacts to private property as they re-enter.
Assistance in mitigating these impacts is available from a variety of organizations that respond to disasters across the country on a regular basis.
Crisis Cleanup is an independent platform used across the country during disasters to connect impacted residents and voluntary organizations who are offering support with clean up services, including muck-out of residences, removing wet and damaged property, drywall and flooring, and clearing access onto the property where debris is limiting access. You can report your damage and request assistance between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily by calling (970) 283-7325 or contacting 211 Colorado. There is no cost to report your damage or request assistance through Crisis Cleanup.
