Emergency communications officials in Colorado's San Luis Valley ordered an immediate evacuation Sunday for Conejos River Canyon to D.5 Road at Highway 17 in Conejos County1.

The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System local-area emergency, sent at 17:17 UTC (12:17 p.m. EST) on Nov. 1 by San Luis Valley E-911 and Alamosa Regional Communication, was coded Extreme severity, Immediate urgency and Observed certainty1. It was set to expire at 21:17 UTC the same day (4:17 p.m. EST)1.

The message told people to leave immediately, to be prepared to stay away from home for multiple days, and to bring necessary medications, identification and important documents, and it pointed to the Conejos County website for more information1.

The official alert did not name the hazard, mapped zones or a shelter1. The Conejos County website listed as the source for more information did not, at the time this report was written, display a matching evacuation notice on its home page1.
