I've posted on my Sierra Madre News Net website the Public Works Department's most recent (updated 11/6/08) PowerPoint slideshow that details the City's preparations for the anticipated debris flow. Because PowerPoint is Microsoft, you'll want to view it in Internet Explore (Mozilla Firefox shows the information, but everything is smaller, pictures are out of position, etc.). The presentation is chock full of information about the current status of Sierra Madre's hillsides, anticipated mud/debris flow, what the City and County are doing in preparation, and what you should do to prepare. It also includes maps of the evacuation areas that have been drawn up by the city, and online resources you can access if your electricity and web access are still functional.
On a beautiful sunny day like this, it might seem easy to decide to put off worrying about rain and mud, but it's days like these that are exactly the right time to plan ahead and put in place the necessary measures so that when it does rain, you aren't scrambling around trying to figure everything out.
Are you ready?
