The Mescalero Violence Against Women Program (VAWA) hosted a drive thru- ice cream social on June 16, 2022 at 1:00 pm.  There were over 100 ice cream dishes given out to the community.  Everyone received information on Elderly Abuse awareness and Strangulation awareness.  Information was given with a diagram of what happens to a person who has been strangled and what to look for in person who may have been strangled.  Pamphlets on Elder Abuse and Strangulation were distributed to our participants, elder abuse pamphlets showed the different types of elderly abuse and the most common our community has seen.  Strangulation pamphlets gave information on the different symptoms to look for in a strangled victim.  The VAWA staff would like to thank the Mescalero community for driving through for some ice cream and for recognizing the awareness of both elder abuse and strangulation for more information regarding our program, please call our office at (575)464-0079.

According to Weather.gov, several factors contribute to flash flooding. The two key elements are rainfall intensity and duration. Intensity is the rate of rainfall, and duration is how long the rain lasts. Topography, soil conditions, and ground cover also play an important role.

Flash floods occur within a few minutes or hours of excessive rainfall, a dam or levee failure, or a sudden release of water held by an ice jam. Flash floods can roll boulders, tear out trees, destroy buildings and bridges, and scour out new channels. Rapidly rising water can reach heights of 30 feet or more. Furthermore, flash flood-producing rains can also trigger catastrophic mud slides. You will not always have a warning that these deadly, sudden floods are coming. Most flood deaths are due to FLASH FLOODS.

Most flash flooding is caused by slow-moving thunderstorms, thunderstorms repeatedly moving over the same area, or heavy rains from hurricanes and tropical storms.

Occasionally, floating debris or ice can accumulate at a natural or man-made obstruction and restrict the flow of water. Water held back by the ice jam or debris dam can cause flooding upstream. Subsequent flash flooding can occur downstream if the obstruction should suddenly release.
