Pets are important members of the family, so they should also be included in the family emergency plan. To prepare for the unexpected, visit Ready.gov/Pets to make a plan that includes your pet and what they will need during and after an emergency.

Just as with your family’s emergency supply kit, think about the basics for survival, such as food, water and needed medication. Visit the City and County of Broomfield’s Emergency Preparedness website at Broomfield.org/Emergency, a Broomfield community resource that provides guidance on preparation and response to potential hazards and threats before, during and after an event.

You've probably noticed that some days the air quality is so poor you can't see the beloved Flatirons and Rockies. Luckily, there are simple steps we can all take to help improve our air quality.

One of the easiest ways is filling up your car after 5 p.m.! By refueling after the sun goes down, fuel vapors do not have as much of a chance to "cook" in the midday sun and become harmful ground-level ozone.

Broomfield’s trail systems and open spaces are designed and maintained as special resources for wildlife and as places of fresh air for our active community. To preserve this resource and practice fire safety of these areas, smoking and va**ng are strictly prohibited in Broomfield open space and parks.

Dry conditions and warm temperatures can dry out vegetation and increase fire risk, especially if discarded smoldering smoking materials come into contact with vegetation.
