Boulder and Zonehaven divided the city into 43 zones on an interactive map. First responders update each zone with localized information during emergency situations. Residents consult their Zonehaven AWARE zones for shelters, evacuation routes, and other instructions. Local officials include a link to the mapping tool within emergency notification texts. The city views the map as a complementary resource for timely information during natural and man-made emergencies.
