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.

A typical homeowners insurance policy does not provide coverage for flood damage, so consumers would need a flood policy for coverage.
