The Boulder Office of Disaster Management (ODM) has launched a new program that enables community members to stay informed via text message during an emergency. Starting in July, ODM will add text messaging to the ways community members can choose to stay informed during a disaster. This is an enhancement to the current communications process, which relies heavily on the ODM website and social media. The keyword text messaging system will only be used when the Emergency Operations Center is activated to respond to a disaster. This typically occurs for larger scale incidents that are likely to last some time and affect a large portion of the community. Instead, the new keyword text messaging system will provide important information that may be helpful to know during a disaster. Examples of information that will be shared include incident updates, community resources, road closures, sheltering information, and information about other community impacts.

Boulder County and the City of Boulder have successfully defeated motions to dismiss from ExxonMobil Corporation and several Suncor entities in their landmark climate accountability lawsuit, clearing a critical first hurdle in the case. The thorough ruling from the Boulder district court rejected nearly all of the defendants’ legal objections to the suit, and is an important step forward for these and other communities’ ability to obtain redress for the climate harms they are suffering and will continue to suffer. “Boulder is increasingly burdened by the impacts of an altered climate, and our community cannot keep bearing the costs alone while those responsible avoid paying their fair share,” said City of Boulder City Manager Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde. “This lawsuit is about protecting our community from the impacts of the climate crisis, and the significance of this ruling toward that goal cannot be understated.” Learn more about the case and next steps ➡️ https://ow.ly/QkJs50Sr59H
