Disaster Resources in Teller County

Recommended Supplies to Pack

A good rule of thumb is to have at least 72 hours of supplies ready to go in case you have to leave your home when a disaster happens. This includes items that your pet will also need. The following items are what we recommend you have on hand in a go bag or in your home for your animal.

  • Food

  • Water

  • Medication 

  • Veterinarian Records

  • Identification for you and your pet

  • Extra bedding or warmth for the cold months

  • Clothing 

Things to Think About

  • Do you have a plan in place to get your animals evacuated if you are not home? 

  • ​Do you know where you would go if you were to be evacuated from your home?

  • How easily can you evacuate your animals, such as horses, goats, or chickens, by yourself?

  • ​Do you have your animal's updated medical records ready to go?

  • Do you have a way to keep you and your animals warm if the power goes out in the winter?

Disaster Preparedness

Disasters can strike at any time of the year, and without warning. Here in Teller County, it is not a matter of if, but when a disaster will happen. It is always better to be prepared for when a disaster occurs instead of being caught off guard.
