DENVER ~ In a move to ensure the safety of Colorado communities, Governor Polis has taken Executive action today by amending previous Executive Orders for multiple fires and disasters across the state. These include the Gageby Creek Fire, Grizzly Creek and Red Canyon Fire, Cameron Peak Fire, Mullen Fire, East Troublesome Fire, Calwood Fire, Marshall Fire, June 2023 Severe Weather and Flooding, and a Hazardous Materials Incident in Pueblo County.

The amended Executive Order aims to provide additional funds for recovery efforts by utilizing unused funds originally allocated to the June 2023 Severe Weather and Flooding disaster.

"No Coloradan should have to face these disasters alone," said Governor Polis. "That is why our efforts to keep our communities safe, equipped, and informed before and after disasters strike are more important than ever."

In addition to this action, Governor Polis also signed an Executive Order to officially declare support for fire suppression and recovery efforts for the Schwachheim Fire near Trinidad in Las Animas County. This declaration memorializes his verbal disaster declaration from April 13th, 2026.

With these measures in place, Governor Polis hopes to provide necessary resources and support for those affected by these disasters across the state of Colorado.
