Thanks to all of the emergency personnel
We appreciate you!
A heartfelt thank you to the many firefighters and emergency personnel who worked tirelessly to protect our community and our surrounding neighbors. Thanks to all the local first responders as well as those who came from far afield to support the firefighting and life safety efforts in Lyons and beyond. We expect them to be here through early next week.
Of course human life is the number one priority of wildfire incident teams. We remind residents to remain prepared for changing conditions during a wildfire and to stay informed. The Boulder Office of Disaster Management (ODM) is the lead agency for any disaster in Boulder County and coordinates the resources as well as recovery for disaster response. They have a recovery page with information and resources for residents.
We recommend that everyone in the Lyons Community sign up for Boulder County alerts by texting the word BOCOINFO to 888777 for any future emergency updates.
Additionally there is an evacuation checklist which you can save to your phone or computer to help you prepare for a future evacuation, if needed. You may also find additional wildfire preparedness resources online at www.ready.gov
