🚨 COMMUNITY EMERGENCY ALERT: JEMEZ REGION FLOOD THREAT 🚨🌊 WHAT TO EXPECT

The remnants of Hurricane Polo are funneling record-breaking tropical moisture directly into northern New Mexico.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the Jemez Mountains.

Jemez Springs Fire and Rescue urges all residents and visitors to prepare for:

Torrential Rainfall: Intense downpours capable of rapid water accumulation.

Flash Flooding in Canyons: Due to our steep terrain, water will rapidly funnel down into the Jemez River, streams, and low-lying areas.Debris & Mudslides:

Severe risk of rockfalls, mudslides, and debris flows across NM-4, especially near recent wildfire burn scars.📅

TIMELINEMonday Afternoon & Evening (Sept 28):

Initial thunderstorms begin; localized downpours develop.Tuesday (Sept 29) – PEAK THREAT: Rain chances reach near 100%. Expect prolonged, heavy tropical rainfall and an elevated threat of severe flash flooding.

Wednesday Morning (Sept 30): Moisture begins to slowly push out, but area waterways will remain dangerously high.

🛡️ SAFETY & PREPARATIONS (Per Jemez Springs Fire & Rescue)Avoid NM-4 & Canyon Roads: If you do not need to travel, stay home. Rocks and mud can block highways instantly.

Stay Away From the River: Clear out of all day-use areas, trails, and campsites along the riverbanks.

Turn Around, Don't Drown: Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you off your feet; 2 feet can sweep away a car.

Never drive around emergency barricades.

Have a Go-Bag Ready: If you live in a low-lying canyon area or near a creek, ensure your emergency supplies and evacuation plans are set
