Resources for the Horse Community
Whether it’s a fire, flood or other disaster, the BCHA Emergency Preparedness Committee, in conjunction with Boulder County Mounted Search and Rescue, have created a chronological list that can be printed and kept with you.
HorseAlert is a FREE community-based equine emergency evacuation system.
In emergencies, HorseAlert connects owners who need to evacuate their horses with volunteer drivers who are willing to help. This keeps the flow of information clear and our evacuation routes open for more efficient emergency response. This critical service is provided by Colorado Horse Rescue.

The Equine Disease Communication Center (EDCC) is an industry-driven initiative which works to protect horses and the horse industry from the threat of infectious diseases in North America. The communication system is designed to seek and report real time information about disease outbreaks similar to how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) alerts the human population about diseases in people. This website provides information on:
- Outbreaks and alerts by state
- Information on how to report an outbreak
- Disease information
- Reportable diseases
- Information on what horse owners should do during the first 30 minutes of a suspected infectious disease outbreak
- Biosecurity and more
