Emergency Management reports heat advisory and moisture deficits; county readies sandbags and water tenders
Summary
Emergency Management Director Josh Phillips told the commission a heat advisory is in effect and several areas are measuring moisture deficits — Moon Lake, Dollar Ridge and Indian Canyon are about 13 inches below average — and the county staged fire teams, water tenders and sandbags in preparation.
Emergency Management Director Josh Phillips provided the commission with a weather and fire‑risk update, reporting a heat advisory and countywide moisture deficits. He identified Moon Lake, Dollar Ridge and Indian Canyon as facing the worst deficits and said fire teams are ready for deployment.
Phillips said two water tenders had been delivered to the Emergency Operations Center and that sandbags were being prepared at fire stations, with a goal of 100 filled at each station. He warned that next week’s forecast was expected to be hotter, and commissioners noted recent lightning strikes that had sparked small fires but not large incidents yet.
