Please do NOT feed wildlife, not only is it illegal, it does "more harm than good."
Review the Colorado Parks & Wildlife on feeding wildlife:  cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/do-not-feed-wildlife.aspx
                                        City-Wide Peak Alerts

The City/County has recently added "Know Your Zone" to the Peak Alerts System.   Peak Alerts is used to notify you of emergency situations that are a threat to life or property and are sent to specific affected areas. The tagline is COSReady, which contains three parts: 
  •  1- Sign Up for Alerts (https://member.everbridge.net/1772417038942752/new)
  • 2- Know Your Zone (https://community.zonehaven.com/)
  • 3- Make A Plan (Go to the COSReady site at  https://coloradosprings.gov/ready for resources)
 This alert system is for hazards: to include wildfire, flooding, hazmat incidents, active shooters, etc.  The city has been divided into over 600 unique and numbered zones (Rustic Hills Acres is in Zone 2353). The zones were established to help the incident commanders (ICs) managing the situation determine which zones to alert for:

  • 1. Evacuation Order- which means you should leave right now.
  • 2. Pre-evacuation Warning, which means you should prepare and be ready to evacuate.
  • 3. Shelter-In-Place notification, which means you stay where you are at until further notice.    
 
The ICs are individuals from the City (Fire Department, Police Department, Office of Emergency Management, etc.) who will be monitoring the situation and which zones may be impacted and to what extent.  Once the impacted zone(s) are determined, an Administrator will support the notification process which typically takes about 2.5 to 3 minutes.  A standard and consistent message will go out over the cellphone systems, social media and mainstream TV and radio media.  Individuals who are signed-up for Peak Alerts will receive notification if they are in an impacted zone.
