Disaster Assistance Center In response to the overwhelming needs of the citizens impacted by the Black Forest Fire, El Paso County has established the El Paso County Disaster Recovery Center (DRC). The disaster assistance center is designed to bring together the resources of multiple nonprofit and governmental agencies offering assistance to all El Paso County residents. The county has been working with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and the Division of Emergency Management to provide this central location where residents can access services ranging from assistance in filing insurance claims to grief counseling and rebuilding as our community begins to work toward recovery from this tragic event. Military and Department of Defense employees who have been impacted by evacuation, smoke damage and complete loss of homes are encouraged to attend the disaster assistance center. Hear from Waldo Canyon victims that have become disaster assistance advocates. Leave your contact information with agencies to be notified of changes and services being offered in support of Black Forest Fire. Fort Carson Army Community Service, Peterson Air Force Base Airman and Family Readiness and Veterans Affairs services have information about resources and services for active-duty military, retirees and current DOD civilians. The El Paso County Disaster Recovery Center is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and ocated at the Citizen Service Center, 1675 Garden of the Gods Road. Call 719-444-8301 for more information.
