<br />4-""'-/16 <br /> <br />BUFFALO CREEK RAIN GAUGE STATIONS <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />With spring coming upon us _ must again begin to monitor the rain falls In the Buffalo Creek Fire and <br />Flood Zones. This Is a reminder of how to use the rain gauges supplied by the US Weather SeIVice to our <br />community. <br /> <br />The primary purpose for these rain gauges Is for the Weather Service to confirm their forecasting. A <br />secondary purpose Is for flood mitigation personnel to collect data as to what impact varying rain amounts <br />are having In the Buffalo creek Flood Zone. <br /> <br />Therefore, _ hive created a rain chart that you can use to monitor the rain amounts at your residence. <br />The chart Is to be used for one month only. At the end of the month _ will collect the rain charts and <br />forward them to the ftood mitigation team for study. <br /> <br />We also need you to can the National Weather SeIVlce collect at 303-381-0663 or 303-361-0700 If you are <br />receiving rain in an amount of .25 inches or more in fifteen minutes or less. Also you may make more than <br />one call if _ are receiving long hard rains. <br /> <br />A new aspect of this years monitoring is the US Geological SUIVey is placing satellite monitoring devices in <br />several areas of the bumlflood zone. A member of the USGS team might call you to confirm what their <br />instruments are telling them. <br /> <br />If you have questions please call Don Smith (838 5258) or Page Whitesides (838 8204) <br />
