Tuesday, July 15, 5:00pm to 7:30pm at CSU Extension Building at Fairgrounds
Recent flood events coupled with our dry summer, has us thinking about what would we do if we were impacted by a major natural disaster here in Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County.
On Oct 5th, 1911, the San Juan River crested at 17.8 feet, 13 feet above normal and resulted in two deaths and major, extensive damage.
Every dry warm summer there is a concern for a major wildfire that could reach our neighborhoods.
CSU Extension Agency in combination with Archuleta County Public Health is having a workshop Tuesday, July 15th that is free & open to the public on Emergency preparedness.
Below is the outline for the evening:
5:00pm Brief introductions and housekeeping
5:00-5:30 Safety and emergency Stanley Okazaki/Roy Vega, Archuleta County Emergency MGMT
5:30-6:00 Health of our Land/Forest Mitigation Cindi Galabota
6:00-6:30 Evacuation and Entry Cindi Galabota
6:30-7:00 Weather updates and 2025 forecast Pagosa Weather
