The Colorado Congressional delegation has asked President Trump to respond to Gov. Jared Polis’s request for an expedited Presidential Major Disaster Declaration following devastating and historic flooding and debris flows in southwestern Colorado and the San Luis Valley. The delegation said the request pertains to the initial flooding on Oct. 22-25, the plea came in the midst of a second catastrophic flooding event across the same region, which adds urgency to their request. These impacts, they wrote, are compounded by the damaging flooding in October 2025, which have seriously strained available resources for recovery for previously affected communities.

NOTE: This is a preliminary report that is subject to revision. Reservoir comparisons use the October 14 midnight storage values published in the Bureau of Reclamation’s October 2026 24-Month Study (issued October 15) and the latest available observations through November 5, 2026. Percent-of-capacity figures are calculated against Reclamation’s published live storage capacities. Damage figures and infrastructure assessments are preliminary and are expected to change.
