We still have time for all good people to come to the aid of their town!!!

 

We still need volunteers to help us maintain the parks!  There's Still ONE date left-October 18 !

We have divided the mowing season into Monday through Sunday segments. Because of the diminished rate of growth in summer there will be weekly mowing up till July. After July each mowing segment will be two weeks in duration. If you take a segment you can mow Hohlt Park any day during your week or two week segment.

Here is a list of the Mowing segments that we currently have available for Volunteers:

 

 Oct 18

 

If you would like to help out your community then give me a call at 254-6777 or call me on my cell at 432-6884. If mowing is not your thing but you would like to help, tax deductible donations can be made to the Rocky Ripple Community Association. These donations will be used exclusively for fuel, equipment and other park maintenance costs. Remember, mowing is a co-ed sport and everyone can join in on the fun.

 

Thank You!

The Yellow | Orange | Red warning system

The Rocky Ripple Emergency Management Team has devised a communication system to provide residents with current information regarding the river levels and the potential for flooding. During periods of heavy rains or melting snow, a colored square will be placed in each of the two glass displays located at the entrances into Rocky Ripple. The colored square displayed will correlate with the river levels below. This action will be prompted by information obtained from the National Weather Services Advance Hydrologic Prediction Service and visual observation.

  River levels above normal 12 to 16 feet
For current levels and predictions, you can access  White River Information
  River levels near flood stage predicted 16 to 19 feet
Issued when rising water can impact life and property. Be prepared to take action if rain or snow melt continues.
See recommended actions for orange alert
.
  Flooding predicted, 19 feet or higher
Issued when rapidly rising water poses an immediate hazard to life and property. Evacuation is recommended.

Recommended actions for orange alert

  • Pre-plan a temporary place to stay. Notify your alternate shelter/housing to be on standby.
  • Pre-plan any additional assistance required for evacuation of an elderly or handicapped person. Notify the assistant to be on standby.
  • Be sure to have appropriate containment and housing arranged for your pets. (Pets are not allowed to stay at a Red Cross Facility.)
  • Visible identification on your pet would be advisable as well as several days' worth of food and any medication. Have these items easily accessible.
  • Locate all important documents, personal items, identification, and/or medical supplies. Secure any valuable items from low lying areas.
  • To monitor the current river levels, refer to Web site

     or contact a member of the RREM/CERT team.

The above information is based on predictions and suggestions. Please use your best judgment when deciding to evacuate ... and above all, don't panic.
