One way to wake us all up from our gray Monday fog is the monthly test of the lahar sirens at noon today. It's just routine on the test chime setting. pic.twitter.com/AfhLxNxkxn

Its almost officially 2024! We’d like to wish our community a happy New Year! May the coming year be filled with peace, prosperity, and positive connections. Thank you for partnering with us to make our town a safe and welcoming place for all. Here’s to a fantastic 2024—let’s make it the best one yet!
Making your New Years Eve plan? Make sure to plan ahead for safety, not just the fesitivities. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
1. Plan Your Ride Now: Whether it’s a designated driver, rideshare, or public transportation, plan your safe journey home in advance. Let’s start the new year on the right foot!
2. Celebrate Responsibly: Know your limits and pace yourself. Enjoy the festivities, but make sure to stay in control and make wise choices.
3. Buddy System: Stick with friends and family throughout the night. Look out for one another and ensure everyone gets home safely.
4. Leave Fireworks to the Pros: Enjoy public displays and leave the fireworks to professionals. DIY fireworks can be dangerous and are often illegal.
5. Stay Visible: If walking or cycling, wear reflective clothing and use well-lit pathways. Be cautious of traffic, especially during late-night celebrations.
Let’s welcome 2024 responsibly and with a commitment to each other’s well-being!

New Years Eve is supposed to be a time of reflection, celebration and anticipation of what great things the next year has in store. Don’t ruin it by drinking and driving.
1. Arrange now for a designated driver or use rideshare services. Planning ahead eliminates the temptation to drive under the influence.
2, If you are hosting a celebration, monitor your guests’ alcohol consumption. Offer non-alcoholic alternatives and encourage responsible drinking.
3. If you are attending a party, consider staying overnight or making arrangements to sleep at a friend’s place to avoid driving under the influence.
4. If you’re not the designated driver, ensure the driver is sober and capable. Speak up if you have concerns.
Celebrate Locally:
5. Choose local events to minimize the need for long drives. Celebrating close to home makes it easier to secure safe transportation.
