                         Monday, March 31, 2025

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Nathan 
Whittington of Broomfield, Colorado for receiving the 2024 Statewide 
Emergency Manager of the Year Award.
  As the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office's Emergency Manager, Nathan 
leads coordination and response plans during natural disasters and 
other emergencies. He was instrumental in developing Jeffco's new 
Emergency Operations Center. During the Quarry Fire in 2024, Nathan 
managed the EOC and re-entry plans--ensuring all evacuees were able to 
return home safely. Nathan's commitment to public service extends 
beyond Jefferson County--he also deployed to Sarasota County, Florida 
to provide critical support during Hurricane Milton.
  Nathan has led the way in adapting innovative technology and 
strategies that have strengthened our community's preparedness and 
resilience. We are grateful for his leadership and commitment to 
keeping our communities safe.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to thank Nathan Whittington for his service to the 
Jefferson County community.
