Colorado: Weather Emergency Declarations

Major disaster and emergency declarations FEMA made for weather in Colorado from 2000, the first year this page covers, with no state declaration on this page within 21 days of the incident period. It can mean the state made no declaration, or that its declaration is not in the sources this page draws on. Fire management declarations, which a state can request without declaring an emergency, and declarations for tribal nations are not counted.

DR, EM, and FM declarations for Colorado from the site's national FEMA dataset.

Storm Events matched within the configured date window of a state declaration's signing date. This is temporal and geographic evidence, not proof of causation or operational impact.

Federal declarations are sourced from OpenFEMA via this site's national build. State declarations are limited by the coverage statement above. NOAA proximity matches identify potentially related observed events within a configured window of each state declaration's signing date; they do not independently prove operational impacts or legal causation. NOAA's published Storm Events data used here runs through about 2026-06-29; declarations signed after that show as pending until NOAA publishes those months. The federal crosswalk match uses a wider 21 day window than the NOAA match, since a federal declaration is often filed weeks after the state action that preceded it.
