Emergency Preparedness
The Sheriff’s Office’s Emergency Management and Preparedness team encourage citizens to take steps toward preparing themselves and their families for emergencies. "Be Your Own Hero" (BYOH) is a new campaign the Sheriff's Office is launching to provide easily accessible online digital magazine guides that are specific to disasters in Colorado.
These guides have Colorado concentric information, videos, checklists, and phone numbers you may need during a natural disaster. You can view the e-zine on your devices or download a pdf version.
The first digital magazine was launched in the fall of 2021 and focuses on being your own hero in preparing and learning to live with wildfires.
The winter storm digital magazine launched in January 2022 and focuses on being your own hero in preparing and learning to live with winter storms.
The Flooding digital magazine launched in October 2022 and focuses on being your own hero in preparing and learning to live with flooding in Colorado.
