Chili Cook off on Saturday October 18th at the Town Hall

This is a “Call for Chili”

 

Spread the word!  We’d like to make this the best Chili Cook off yet!

 

The RRCA has talked for a couple of years about putting together an RRCA Cook book so they are inviting anyone who would like to share their special chili recipe to bring a typed or legible handwritten copy to the event.  They expect it to take about a year to compile and will probably publish online.  So join the fun Saturday, October 18 at the Town Hall!

 

Costumes optional but always lots of fun.

 

 

Upcoming Community Events: 

Check out the NEW RRCA Website!

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.
