THERE ARE NOW CAMERAS IN ALBUQUERQUE’S ARROYOS. THE CITY SET THE CAMERAS UP TO MONITOR THE DITCHES SO THEY KNOW WHEN THERE’S A FLASH FLOOD. THE CITY SAYS THE CAMERAS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN ARROYOS AROUND TOWN AS PART OF THE FLASH FLOOD ALARM SYSTEM THAT WARNS US TO STAY OUT OF ARROYOS WHEN IT RAINS.
THOSE CAMERAS WILL ALSO BE VISIBLE AT NIGHT … AND PLANS NOW ARE TO ADD FLASHING LIGHTS AND SIRENS. CITY OFFICIALS HOPE THE NEW SYSTEM CUTS DOWN ON THE NUMBER OF WATER RESCUES IN ALBUQUERQUE.
