This report summarizes significant hazards that occurred in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming during 2025 and the impacts those hazards caused. Drought, wildfire, flooding, severe storms, and high wind hazards all caused damages or impacts to communities during 2025. Rather than providing an exhaustive list of hazards that occurred in the region in 2025, we have assembled a curated list of hazards that were deemed to be significant because they damaged infrastructure, led to a loss of life, caused significant economic loss, affected a significant portion of the region, or were exceptional in some manner. Other general criteria for event inclusion in the report include local all-time weather records that contributed to a hazard, the five largest wildfires in each state, tornado and hail events that caused damage, and wind events that caused societal or economic disruption. Finally, certain hazards were summarized on an annual basis without a discussion of specific events.
