DENVER – Beginning Saturday, January 15, the operating hours for the Disaster Recovery Center will change to 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily until further notice. The center provides a location to ask questions about federal and state disaster assistance. To provide efficient access to resources, the center is co-located with Boulder County’s Disaster Assistance Center at:
