<br />D. FLASH FLOOD WATCH <br />If the National Weather Service issues a Flash Flood Watch for the Buffalo Creek area, Jefferson <br />County Sheriffs dispatch will notify the Resident Deputy, the North Fork Fire Department, <br />Jeffco OEM, and the mountain area bus barn for R-l Schools (if during normal school hours). <br />The emergency pagers will be set off by the Sheriff s dispatch. If it is raining at a rate of less <br />than 1/2 inch per half hour based on reports from the citizens who have National Weather <br />Service (NWS) rain gages or based on reports from Jeffco, Forest Service, or North Fork Fire <br />officials, then no further action needs to be taken. However, residents will need to be aware of <br />changing weather conditions and should be prepared to take emergency measures if the need <br />arises. <br /> <br />E. FLASH FLOOD WARNING <br />If the National Weather Service issues a Flash Flood Warning for the Buffalo Creek area, <br />Jefferson County Sheriffs dispatch will notify the Resident Deputy, the North Fork Fire <br />Department, Jeffco OEM, and mountain area bus barn for R-l schools (if during normal school <br />hours). The Sheriffs dispatch center or Jeffco OEM will activate the emergency phone tree <br />system. The emergency pagers will also be set off by the Sheriff s Dispatch Center. If the <br />Resident Deputy cannot be contacted, or if he requests, Jefferson County Sheriffs dispatch will <br />activate the emergency phone tree system. <br /> <br />The Resident Deputy, the North Fork Fire Department personnel, and citizens in the flood hazard <br />areas will update the National Weather service on actual weather conditions. Several NWS rain <br />gages have been placed near homes in the Buffalo Creek vicinity, and those homeowners should <br />inform the National Weather Service of rainfall amounts to the best of their ability. <br /> <br />The Resident Deputy and the North Fork Fire Department personnel, along with designated <br />citizens, will notify as many people in the area as possible of the flash flood warning. This may <br />be done by telephone, P A, or door to door if time permits. <br /> <br /> <br />The R-I school bus personnel will also be advised of a flash flood warning. The bus drivers for <br />the routes through Buffalo Creek and along the North Fork of the South Platte River will be <br />advised of the warning by their dispatchers. If the bus drivers feel it is safe, they will drop the <br />students off as normal, except for the students living on Buffalo Creek Road (FDR 543), Those <br />students will be dropped off at Green's Store. Their parents will then be called and advised that <br />the students are being held at the store until it is safe to bring them home. Several residents with <br />four wheel drive vehicles, who are pre-authorized to take the children home, will take the <br /> <br />3 <br />
