Please find below a series of documents that will provide a great deal of information to help residents re-enter the community and your homes safely on Friday June 2nd, 2023. All of this information will be available to you in the printed guides that will be handed out on re-entry day and available at the Town Office following re-entry on June 2nd.
This is the overarching plan for re-entry which includes checklists of infrastructure inspections and services checks necessary before re-entry may occur.

While everyone will be coming home on June 2nd, the wildfire around us is still active. We are comfortable that the Town is safe but we will be restricting access to areas outside of Town. Most of these roads have power poles, trees or active fires crossing them so we cannot stress enough the need to respect these road blocks. We also need to respect the areas the fire fighters are operating out of at the airport and our fire hall. the below security plan shows where we will have barricades in Town. Please do not travel in these areas and be respectful of the incredible men and women that have been protecting our Town this month and are continuing to do so in the weeks ahead.

Finally, the Town’s insurance provider has been gracious enough to assist us in building an instruction document on the types of conversations residents need to have with their own insurance providers. We have also now posted below a letter from the Town of Rainbow Lake to show to your insurance providers confirming the dates of the power outage and the opinion of the Town that these units be disposed.
