Disaster Declarations Approved for Glenwood Canyon Mudslides

Colorado Department of Transportation

Two disaster declarations have been approved in response to the devastating Glenwood Canyon mudslides along I-70.

The first Executive Order authorizes the use of the Colorado National Guard for traffic control, debris management, and unarmed law enforcement support.

The second Executive Order will enable the state to seek federal funds to assist with recovery. I-70 between Rifle and Dotsero remains closed indefinitely.
