Saturday, April 26th, 9-11:30a.m – CSU Extension Building, 344 Hwy 84 in Pagosa Springs.
Recognizing the potential for heightened emergency activity, including an elevated risk of wildfires this season, the Archuleta County Public Health Department (ACPHD) along with CSU Extension, are hosting a crucial and informative workshop focused on preparedness. Residents are strongly encouraged to attend this FREE event to gain essential knowledge and skills for navigating power outages and other unforeseen circumstances.
The workshop will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 9:00a.m. to 11:30a.m. at the CSU Extension Building, located at 344 Hwy 84 in Pagosa Springs.
The session will cover critical aspects of emergency preparedness, including essential power outage safety protocols, an overview of local weather patterns and climate factors relevant to emergency situations, and the importance of maintaining the health of our land. Participants will receive practical guidance on how to effectively prepare for a range of emergencies, understand recovery procedures, and learn about available financial resources. Given the anticipated increase in wildfire risk, the information shared will be particularly pertinent for ensuring community safety and resilience.
Unfortunately, neither Arleen or Shawn from Pagosa Weather will be there for the workshop. But Arleen has briefed Laura Capre and County Extension Agent Cindi Galabota, on the rest of spring weather, the monsoon outlook, and even a potential winter outlook. That information will be included in the workshop.
For questions about the class, please contact Laura Capre, lcapre@archuletacounty.org, or call 970-264-8439.
