Colorado embraces an "All-Hazards" planning approach to emergency management. To enhance planning and coordination efforts, Colorado is divided into nine All-Hazards regions.
Regional Homeland Security Coordinators, Colorado Division of Emergency Management Feild Managers, local emergency managers, public health emergency preparedness regional staff and other agency personnel work within these regional boundaries to facilitate local prioritization, teamwork and collaboration among neighboring counties and tribal governments. This approach fosters resource sharing and builds sustainable capabilities and early consensus among stakeholders.
It is important to note that although many disciplines recognize and work within the All-Hazards Region boundaries, these regions do not have statutory authority to enforce policy decisions.
