Emergency Management
As wildfire season approaches, we want everyone in our community to know: Larimer County emergency management personnel are here for the community. Our teams are trained, experienced, and committed to helping people stay safe during any emergency. Recent messaging from the Department of Homeland Security regarding the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has generated questions about the availability of disaster services. As we enter wildfire season, it is a good time to provide clarity about local programs and services.

Larimer County is not immune to large-scale emergencies and disasters. Each year, our community faces a variety of hazards, from hazardous materials incidents on roadways to natural incidents such as floods and wildfires. Larimer County Office of Emergency Management is tasked with the ongoing recovery from large incidents as well as building a program for recovery for the future, ensuring we capture lessons learned and implement best practices in the future.
Over 60 emergency preparedness and safety organizations will participate in the third annual Hero Fest in Fort Collins later this month.
