Public safety agencies in Boulder County are pleased to announce the launch of a new emergency notification system. This system, available immediately, will allow residents of the county and all cities within Boulder County to be notified of an emergency situation in a variety of ways, including on their cell phones, home and work phones, and by text messaging and e-mail.
 
The system will be used to notify residents about imminent threats to health and safety such as the need to evacuate due to a wildfire or take other appropriate actions in the event of a flash flood or other critical law enforcement activity. The alerts will come in from 911Alert@bouldercounty.org. The service is free to members of the public, except for any text messaging charges associated with their cell phone provider.

Volunteer in the high-country at Caribou Ranch. It may look pretty, but Oxeye Daisy is a noxious weed that has escaped gardens and is taking over mountain meadows at Caribou Ranch. Spend the morning finding and pulling these flowers to help protect a riparian ecosystem. This is a great opportunity for families and young volunteers. We will work in a beautiful mountain meadow, a great place to find native wildflowers.  You can volunteer one or both days. 

These projects run from 9am-12pm.  Minimum age is 8 with adult supervision. To register please email WildWorkVolunteers@BoulderCounty.org or call 303-678-6216 by July 31 or August 6.
