The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies published a consumer advisory recommending that victims of the Alexander Mountain Fire and residents in the area should strongly consider getting flood insurance. 

The Department is informing consumers that in the aftermath of a wildfire, there is an increased threat of flooding since the fire destroys vegetation that would normally absorb rainfall and runoff. A typical homeowners insurance policy does not provide coverage for flood damage, so consumers would need a flood policy for coverage.
