Ian Frazier

Managing Director, CPRN

Ian Frazier is the Managing Director of the Colorado Preparedness & Response Network (CPRN), responsible for the day-to-day operations and overseeing strategic initiatives for the 501(c)(4) non-profit organization.

As Managing Director, Ian is focused on enhancing Colorado’s preparedness landscape by fostering meaningful collaboration between industry partners, emergency managers, and first responders. Ian is committed to advancing CPRN’s mission through expanding access to practical, scenario-based training opportunities, strengthening stakeholder engagement, and enhancing regional planning efforts across the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin. He believes that effective preparedness starts long before an incident occurs- and that the strongest systems are built through trust, communication, and a common purpose.

A Colorado native, avid adventurer, and lifelong learner, Ian brings over a decade of experience as a Firefighter/EMT, Hazardous-Materials Technician, and public safety professional. He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Emergency Services Administration and an Associate of Applied Science degree in Fire Science Technology. His background includes leading preparedness and training initiatives at the local, state, and international levels- most notably managing multi-agency response operations in Antarctica, where he coordinated joint exercises with United States and New Zealand forces in one of the world’s most austere and resource-limited environments. These experiences reinforced his commitment to Unified Command and cross-sector cooperation.
