Woodside Park Community Ambassador for Elk Creek Fire

Introduction letter from Becky Canterbury as the Woodside Park Community Ambassador 

In Woodside Park, we have additional representation with Fire Adapted Bailey (Rebecca Stewart) and Firewise (Chair, Chad Ammerman), providing a wealth of information to all homeowners. I have included some helpful resources below:

• Check out the Park County Fire & Evacuation Preparedness Presentation (you will need to listen and follow along with the slides) at:  https://www.parkcountyco.gov/928/Disaster-Evacuation-Preparedness
• A Science-Based Approach to Wildfire Resilience, The Conifer Wildland Division (CWD) 2025 Operational Plan: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/2e9b8442e4d1487a875c728fca126,      definitely worth reading and watching the Our Risk video.  This shows the survivability of our evacuation routes
• Rotary Wildfire Ready, https://www.rotarywildfireready.com/
• My notes from the evacuation route ride along with Captian Mandl, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IicAohJ8jFGh6xYa8ks0rXprIfb1EZqFpgchtA2PYRg/edit?usp=sharing
  • Chad is our Firewise chair and committee need to figure out the best way to educate and action a few of the identified areas.  I believe education will be very important.
  • Expect evacuation to take 2-3 hours
  • Know your evacuation routes, have more than one if possible. Drive them during the day and night.
  • Don’t wait, evacuate -> you don’t have to wait for the evacuation orders
