RED FLAG Alert From East Mountain Wildfire Preparedness Association

FROM EMWP - R E D   F L A G   W A R N I N G

This morning the National Weather Service (NWS) changed Monday's weather forecast to red flag status. Pay attention to conditions on Tuesday as well. It will probably be updated to red flag status in the next 24 hours.

Here again is a reminder of the meaning of red flag weather conditions: Red flag conditions are when the temperature for that specific day is unusually high, the relative humidity is very low (15 per cent or lower), winds speeds are above 20 miles per hour (mph) sustained, with much higher gusts, the area wide fuels are extremely dry and receptive to ignition (we all know this is the case - no precipitation of any consequence since early November), and finally these conditions are expected to last for at least 6 hours across the area.   

The official details: red flag conditions are expected to be met by 11 am, and last until 7 pm. Winds will be out of the southwest/west at 25-35 mph, with gusts from 40 to 50 mph. relative humidity will drop to between 7 -13 per cent. The final admonition from the weather service: any fires that develop will spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended. EMWPA adds to this that conditions before and after the actual red flag trigger point will be similar, so be prepared. Take tomorrow morning to make sure you are prepared, especially for the winds. Here is the link to the official NWS forecast:

The fine fuels (grass and tumbleweeds for example) are ready to ignite. The EMWPA mantra is always - Be Aware, Be Prepared!

Cats

Over on Chaco Loop, a resident captured pictures of a couple of cats who have been spotted in his yard.  Hopefully these guys can be identified or  have gotten home safely

Spring Wildfires - Is Your Go Bag Ready?

FROM EMWPA:

This coming Saturday, March 1, EMWPA will be holding our third educational outreach program. We will be updating the fire weather outlook for the 2025 wildfire season, and we will be holding an updated repeat of the very popular FREE emergency
'GO' Bag program. This will take place at the Sandia Ranger Station meeting room, starting at 9:00 am and scheduled to last until about 12:00 pm.  FYI, for those that already have the bags, you are welcome to attend. It never hurts to review this information. We only have enough GO bags (maximum 50) for 1 per family, so your RSVP is critical. We encourage you to bring your kids, since they should be aware of how to use this emergency bag.

 
We have made important strides in getting our Zoom production cleaned up. If you do not think you will be able to attend in person, but can connect via Zoom, make sure you let us know in your RSVP. We will simplify what is the Zoom link so it will be easier to use. Please note - if the link is not underlined and blue, it is not a "hot" link. This means that you will have to cut/paste this address into your browser to make it work. It is not necessary to have a Zoom account to join the meeting. Remember to look for this email in your spam folder too.
