The Colorado Department of Transportation recently began releasing episodes from a new video series called “The Road to Resiliency” that documents the agency’s infrastructure response and recovery efforts in the wake of major flooding nine years ago.

The first video highlights how almost one week worth of non-stop rain in September 2013 caused flooding that shut down more than 400 miles of roads and 200 bridges, forced the evacuation of 19,000 peopled, and stranded 3,000 people who ultimately had to be rescued.
