Emergency managers in Carbon County are preparing for a busy flood season. Sandbags are being readied in many areas of the county, especially in Baggs, Dixon and Saratoga, where flooding occurred last year. County Emergency Manager John Zeiger (ZIG-ur) says they've ordered around 40-thousand sand bags for the county, half of which will be destined for Saratoga. Warmer weather over the weekend is expected to speed the runoff, however a lack of rain will keep it from overwhelming streams and rivers. Emergency Managers in Northwest Colorado and South Central agree that a stretch of warm weather and rain could create the worst flood season in 25 to 30 years.
