Prepare for an Emergency
The best time to prepare is BEFORE an emergency.
How would you know if a wildfire approaches in the middle of the night? Will you and your family be ready to leave with a moment's notice? The more prepared you are, the more effectively we can protect you and your homes if a wildland fire threatens your neighborhood.

Garfield, Eagle, and Pitkin counties all use the ReachWell app to deliver emergency alerts in their preferred language. In addition to vital notifications, community members can also access resources on emergency preparedness and disaster recovery. Importantly, ReachWell does not require users to create an account or to follow an agency's channel to receive alerts.
