Torrington is the county seat of Goshen County in the southeastern Wyoming plains, where the landscape transitions from the Rockies toward the Great Plains and tornado risk increases. The city serves as a regional agricultural center for the North Platte River valley. Both tornado activity in summer and extreme blizzard conditions in winter require year-round emergency preparedness.
