Emergency Management
The Emergency Management Department continually updates and exercises the County Emergency Operations Plan, utilizing an all-hazards approach in preparing for emergencies/disasters. This includes maintenance of the communications plan, ensuring complete interoperability between all agencies during an incident. The Department also provides training, exercises and mitigation plans in preparation for and response to emergencies; maintains resource lists for use during an emergency, identifying and allocating resources from local, State and private sources; facilitates and updates Mutual Aid Agreements and Intergovernmental Agreements between agencies/jurisdictions, both within Gunnison County and on a regional basis; and locates, writes and manages appropriate grants.

Burn Ordinance
|
|
|
If you are going to burn ditches, fields, slash piles, leaves or other organic material, you must first call the Gunnison Communications Center at 641-8200, option 1. The dispatcher will advise you as to whether a Red Flag Warning (no burning) has been issued. If burning is permitted the dispatcher will ask for your name, address/location of the burn, and your phone number. Burning during a Red Flag Warning, or leaving a fire unattended can result in a ticket being issued, and fines imposed. Either of these two situations also increase personal liability, should the fire get out of control and/or damage other property.
