As rain moves into the area, the Mescalero Emergency Operations Center (EOC) would like to share important information with the community about flood safety and emergency preparedness. This risk of flooding is a reservation wide concern for the next couple of days. We should expect flooding in areas that haven’t had flooding in years. Please be on the look out for alerts posted to the tribe’s socials, and alerts sent to your phones from the Tularosa Basin Regional Dispatch Authority (TBRDA). The tribe is deploying flood monitors to patrol the areas of concern. If you are asked to leave your residence, please do so in a calm and safe manner. Please listen to and abide by the instructions given to you by emergency/tribal personnel.
Please stay alert, monitor weather updates, avoid flooded roads, and be prepared to evacuate if directed by officials. Share this message with your family, friends, and neighbors. Stay safe, Mescalero!
