Detailed Description
Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. In the summer of 2021, travelers in Colorado's Glenwood Canyon were safely evacuated before massive mounds of mud and rocks buried highways and destroyed bridges, thanks to a debris flow warning system developed in part by the USGS. The system alerted Colorado Department of Transportation officials to intense rainfall events, providing crucial lead time for evacuations.
