How
Can I Help?
|
| Over
the past several years, many people, companies and
corporations across Colorado have asked, “How can
I help Colorado Task Force 1?” There are a number
of ways. |
| First,
the Task Force is composed of volunteer participants
from all walks of life. In addition to rescue specialists
that come to us from the fire service, the Task
Force uses structural engineers, hazardous materials
technicians, communications specialists, canine
search specialists, logistics specialists, physicians,
surgeons, nurses, technical information specialists
and safety officers. If you are interested in direct
participation in the Task Force, please refer to
the “How To Join”
page within this website. |
| Colorado
Task Force 1 is funded with federal grant funds
and some state funding. Private donations are also
appreciated to acquire equipment replacement and
new equipment acquisition to complete equipment
cache as specified by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency. |
| Additionally,
the Task Force remains in need of ground transportation
capability. Presently, the Task Force must rely
on borrowed or rented tractor-trailers to transport
the Task Force in the event of a deployment. This
arrangement causes significant delays in our deployment.
Colorado Task Force 1 is presently seeking viable
ground transportation. Anyone interested in donating
in this manner is encouraged to contact the Task
Force office. |
| Also,
the Colorado Task Force 1 continues to develop its
training site at Denver International Airport, and in Boulder. Two of the vital
training “props” are rubble piles comprised of large
slabs of concrete, culvert and other debris which simulates the
collapse structures.
The Task Force relies on the donation of large slabs
of concrete from demolition sites, highway resurfacing
projects, etc. to build the rubble pile. If contractors
or developers in Colorado have
such material, they are encouraged to contact the
Task Force office. Additionally, many Colorado concrete
companies that manufacture storm water products,
vaults and other concrete structures, from time
to time, donate damaged or unmarketable products
to the rubble pile, as well. |
| All
donations are tax-deductible. |
