Colorado Legislature Establishes Disaster Resilience Program & Fund
In the aftermath of the Marshall Fire, the Colorado Legislature has taken note of the complexities surrounding wildfires and municipalities’ property coverage. With this, there have been new funding mechanisms adopted to potentially help municipalities fill unmet needs not covered by other sources of assistance.
Particularly, municipalities affected by state-declared wildfire disasters or other emergency disasters declared by the Governor in or after 2018 will want to take note of the newly-created Colorado Disaster Resilience Rebuilding Program and Fund (the “Program”).
