Snowmass Village residents are encouraged to sign up for emergency notifications, keep emergency kits stocked, and familiarize themselves with local resources:
- Emergency Notifications – Pitkin Alert is an emergency notification system that alerts residents and business owners through text messages, email, cell or landline phones. In the event of a wildfire incident, Pitkin Alert will send you up-to-date notifications about the fire, associated road closures, and evacuation orders. You must register for the free alerts at PitkinAlert.org.
- Preparedness Materials – Your wildfire emergency plan must be prepared well in advance of a fire and shared with all members of your household. Use the checklists provided by Pitkin County to help you prepare your family for a wildfire emergency.
