Gov. Jared Polis activated the National Guard on Tuesday to help with the upcoming extreme cold front headed to Colorado.
Polis authorized more than 100 National Guard members to help with emergency response to the conditions, and his declaration also activates the Colorado State Emergency Operations Center and the state’s emergency operations plan, according to a news release from his office. The Colorado Office of Emergency Management will be tasked with helping various jurisdictions with response, recovery and mitigation, and opens up availability of state resources.
“Colorado’s National Guard is up to the challenge whether it’s helping distribute the life-saving vaccine or respond to wildfires across our state. Colorado is about to face extreme weather and cold temperatures and the Guard is ready to assist local communities to help keep people safe during this extreme-cold weather snap,” Polis said in a statement.
