| | | | | | | | ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Read proclamation into the record
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: During the month of May communities across the west take a pause and engage in some preparation for the upcoming wildfire season. Wildfire in Colorado and throughout the west continue to be larger, burn longer, and are harder to control. A combination of factors including heavy accumulations of fuel, dryer and warmer weather and more human activities in nature have primed our forests, shrublands and communities to burn. It is incumbent upon everyone; governments, businesses and citizens to prepare for wildfire. The Town of Vail joins the State of Colorado and many communities across the west in declaring May as “Wildfire Awareness Month”.
