I know! I should! Facebook less. Blog more.

Someone invited me to help administer their Facebook group because they were jealous of the info I post on the one for our neighborhood. I looked at theirs and decided the content of what they post is too fluffy for my liking, but okay, I can once in awhile insert the type of info I post, which is more focused on health and safety such as how to prevent bears getting into your car, and look out, there's more ticks this year.

Unlike some facebook groups, the primary one I manage has a mission that I made up: preparedness information and connections between neighbors so when the next disaster strikes, our community is connected. Having a mission helps me stick to my goal.

Another page I manage is for a watershed coalition and its focus is environmental and recreational topics relevant to the particular watershed.

The one I was just added to is about living in this area, but not for visitors or people who want to move to the area. It's more social than useful, until I came along.

I decided that visitors to our area need some of the preparedness information to help them while there are here. For example, how to sign up for our county's reverse 9-1-1 notifications so they can receive local weather warnings and learn about wildfires and floods and how to stay out of danger. And also about bears breaking into cars, and ticks. Heck, they wouldn't even know what county they are in unless someone goes out of their way to tell them. So I created Ready! Estes Park - For Visitors. The name follows the pattern of FEMA's Ready.gov website.

I don't know if people who are searching Facebook for pages about Estes Park will come across it, but even if they don't it will be out there and we can brag about it at the Office of Emergency Management meetings.

There is a software for $20 a month that would allow me to make one update and all my Facebook pages would receive it, but I don't want to pay that much out of my own pocket for the convenience. Maybe I can get a grant...
