3. What is a Special District?

Special Districts in Colorado are local governments, i.e., political subdivisions of
the state, which make up a third level of government in the United States. (The
federal and state governments are the other two levels.) Local governments
include counties, municipalities (cities and towns), school districts, and other
types of government entities such as "authorities" and "special districts."

Colorado law limits the types of services that county governments can provide to
residents. Districts are created to fill the gaps that may exist in the services
counties provide and the services the residents may desire. The majority of
districts draw their boundaries in unincorporated county land, but residents of a
municipality may be included in one or more districts.

As political subdivisions of the State of Colorado, special districts are required to submit a number of required filings to various state agencies throughout the year. These filings are primarily financial, but also include election results, lists of boards of directors, and others.

5. When should I call 911?

Dial 911 in the event of an emergency only! When someone is badly hurt or suddenly sick and in danger, call 911 immediately. Call when someone’s life is threatened, when someone faints or collapses, has persistent chest pain or difficulty breathing or is badly injured. Call if the victim needs the skills or equipment of emergency personnel. Call if moving the victims yourself could cause further injury. If unsure, call 911.

8. What should I do when help arrives?

If the dispatcher gives you specific instructions, follow them and don’t panic. Don’t move someone who is injured unless they are in danger. Do try to keep them as comfortable as possible. If someone else is there with you, send them to meet the Fire Department personnel.

9. What should I say when I call 911?

Stay calm, speak clearly and stay on the phone until the emergency operator tells you to hang up. Give the exact location of the emergency. Tell the dispatcher who is hurt and sick and what happened. The most important thing to remember is to stay calm and know where you are.
