Louisville will hold disaster education and outreach meetings

Louisville is presenting a variety of disaster education and outreach programs.

A wildfire risk assessment open house will be held 6 p.m. Monday at the Louisville Recreation and Senior Center. The open house will identify hazards, mitigation of risks on public land and a chance for residents to give feedback. There will also be an emergency preparedness and notifications program 6 p.m. Feb. 13 at the recreation center. This event will be a chance for attendees to learn more about emergency situations, as well as about Boulder County’s emergency notification system. The program will also explain what items from the Marshall Fire after-action report are being taken into consideration for future emergency notifications.

Louisville had a class Monday on the community wildfire protection plan. During the meeting, Meg Halford, Colorado State Forest Service senior forest health planner, said that the protection plan is made at the county level and is expansive. She said the plan is made to encourage local communities to organize, plan and take action and increase fire resistance and protection.

A recording of Monday’s meeting is available on the Louisville YouTube page.
