Colorado Governor Seeks Disaster Aid After Wildfires and Floods | Denver News

Colorado’s governor is urgently asking President Trump for a major disaster declaration after two catastrophic wildfires this summer—Aspen Acres and Gold Mountain—took hundreds of homes, crippled infrastructure, and now threaten communities with deadly flooding. With state resources stretched thin, officials are seeking federal aid for temporary housing, infrastructure repair, and hazard mitigation across three counties, despite a previous denial. Both parties in Congress are rallying behind the request, warning that recovery isn’t over as floodwaters and debris continue to endanger lives. The governor is calling on the White House to act fast before more Coloradans suffer. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
