Hello and welcome to your Eagle County Business Toolkit.
New Eagle County Public Health Orders mean that Eagle County is taking its first step toward recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within this kit you will find the tools you will need to:
The residents, businesses, organizations, and governments of Eagle County have done very well in this effort so far, and we have been leading the way in the State of Colorado. This is due to your hard work and diligence, and the next phases of our recovery are equally as reliant on individuals and businesses in Eagle County moving forward, in unison, through the three phases of the new Public Health Order.
Public health is providing the rules of the road, but implementing these orders will create many specific scenarios, questions, and challenges unique to your business or industry. We are working with private sector business leaders to address these challenges, and you will find further information within this toolkit to connect with peers in your sector and consolidate your approach.
We still have a long way to go. Our first phase (Green Circle) is a cautious first test. From there, we will need even more of your input to be successful in phases two (Blue Square) and three (Black Diamond). We will rely on your special knowledge of your industry, and your connection with your customers, to help unify and lead our community forward.
Please use the Transition Trail Map and other marketing and communications tools within this document to help us share key messages with your employees, displayed in your place of business, shared among your industry peers, and utilized in your marketing and social media assets.
We are among the first to take careful steps forward. For this approach to work, we must all take each step together. We look forward to working with you throughout this process, applying your feedback in our own efforts, and supporting a healthy and robust road to recovery.
Sincerely,
Kathy Chandler-Henry Jeanne McQueeney Matt Scherr

Communicating to your customers and employees
The “Transition Trail Map” helps put the Public Health Order into easy-to-understand components. Use the Trail Map to help guide your own business’s specific protocol for each phase of the transition.
Eagle County Public Health will determine which phase we are in:
How does my business communicate our social distancing protocols?
If you choose to open your business, you must fill out the Social Distancing Protocol form and share the completed document publicly and with your employees.
Post the appropriate symbol
We are currently in Phase 1, Green Circle. Please post a Green Circle in a publicly visible place at your business. Do not post Blue Square or Black Diamond until Public Health determines we are in that phase.
Customers and employees will then be able to easily identify where your policies are located so that they can follow your social distancing strategy.
Switch to the new symbol as we progress.
Help share the “Five Commitments of Containment”
Print and social media assets:
Integrate the green circle with your social media!
More social media assets and headers coming soon.
Participate in your industry’s Private Sector Task Force
Connect with others in your industry, share solutions, and get answers to industry-specific questions
We understand there will be many questions about how to implement the broader Public Health Orders into your specific situation. We are working with Private Sector Task Forces to ensure that the business community has the tools and resources they need, that they can connect with one another to share solutions, and that they can have their voices heard.
Connect to your industry taskforce by filling out the Private Sector Task Force Form.
