It is in our interest that the residence of Monument are educated and well quipped with resources relevant to man-made or natural disasters. We need to plan and prepare for the worst cases (such as wild fires, disease, weather conditions, public health crisis, etc.). For when they do come, we are confident that our Town knows how to act and respond accordingly. 

The Town supports the Pikes Peak Regional Office of Emergency Management .

This capability of managing a survivable crisis includes the ability to direct, control, manage and coordinate emergency operations with cooperation from local governments, the state and federal government and nonprofit organizations.
