Boulder Disaster area declaration

[LippCJ7]

Guys, I need some help, I have been told that only Boulder County has been declared a Major Disaster area by Obummer, this comes from a person that should know, I cannot find anything to the contrary and unfortunately I have to go to work and will not be able to research it further....


Obviously this is not getting much air in the mass media but does anyone know more? I am sure I am not the only one that would be pissed about this...

Why do you feel you should be pissed about this? There are 300 missing people in Boulder county.

Because Larimer county got hit pretty hard too. And so has Weld. But those two counties are at the forefront of the Pro2A movements and we cant have them getting aid before the good democrats of Boulder

How many people are missing there? How much property damage is there? How many universities and medical centers are under water there?

You are literally taking a natural disaster, which has killed several people, hundreds more are missing, billions in property damage and probably a couple hundred thousand people who have lost their homes, and are making it into a bullshit partisan gun politic argument.

Not everything is about guns, there are people's lives at risk here. Pull your AR out of your ass and look at the big picture.

Looks like someone just wants to find something to bitch about.

And I just had to write a $1420 check to get my driveway repaired... and busted my ass yesterday helping out... but I feel fortunate with what I see other parts of the state have had since Wed of last week.

The morning of 9/12 (this is the worst flooding):


On 9/13, after most of the flooding has subsided (except what is still flowing in the culvert):

If you think for a moment that the allocation of government resources during a crisis isn't heavily affected by politics unrelated to the disaster itself you're deluded.

That said, RIGHT NOW is probably not the time for that argument.

I have to agree. The reason for disaster declaration is to free up money and resources. Utah and Nebraska Urban Search and Rescue teams are here helping, they could not deploy without this. Colorado Task Force 1 deployed as a Type III State Activated and funded response until the declaration now they are a full Type I. Also only the Army National Guard can activate under the Gov, the Ft. Carson and 4th ID guys flying had to wait for the declaration.

Also I must say from what I have seen and heard this is an outstanding rescue operation. There are some truly amazing rescues taking place. Trust me I am not a fan of the government and some of the shit they do, but the military is the only resource that can pull this off, without them this would be so much worse.
