Wednesday, April 30Larimer County is sponsoring an

informational Emergency Prepared-ness Open House on Wednesday, April 30, from 6-8 p.m.at the Love-land Chilson Senior Center, 700 E. Fourth St. in Loveland. The purpose of the open house is to provide updates on flood and fire related recovery ac-tivities and to provide information on preparedness activities and actions for this upcoming season in Larimer County.

With the spring season upon us, additional flood concerns exist due to the large wildfires and flooding over the last few years. The next few months hold the potential for addi-tional flooding throughout Larimer County due to significant snow pack, change in streambed sediment and depth, scorched land from wildfires, and the upcoming severe weather season. Additionally, wildfire remains a constant concern for much of the county throughout the summer months.

Open house topics include: flood-plain impacts and plans, flood insur-ance opportunities, wildfire and flood restoration, spring run off consider-ations, weather updates and watch/warning information, emergency management actions and prepared-ness, wildfire mitigation information, psychological first aid and stress management tools, and preparedness tips and resources for the hazards that most affect Larimer County res-idents.

Following the 2013 flood, the coun-ty constructed temporary roadways and structures to provide access as quickly as possible. Many of these facilities could not be built to perma-nent road standards in the available time last fall and are at risk of fail-ure during spring runoff conditions. It is imperative that all community members remain vigilant this up-coming season and have a clear plan for response if evacuations become necessary.

Join us to discuss the future of the Larimer County Natural Resources Open Lands Program at our first Open Lands Master Plan public forum. Drop in anytime on April 30 between 5:30 and 8 p.m. at the RioGrande Agave

Room (143 W. Mountain Ave., Fort Collins) to discuss the plan with staff. Free refreshments provided. Please contact Zac Wiebe at 970-619-4534 for more details. Information about this can be viewed at larimer.org
