Those who would like their debris to be picked up curbside are asked to sort their debris into five categories:
Electronics (such as televisions, computers, phones).
Large appliances (such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, or dishwashers. Be sure to seal or secure the doors so they are not accessible).
Vegetative debris (such as tree branches, leaves, or plants).
Sediment
Construction debris (such as drywall, lumber, carpet, or furniture).
Household garbage, discarded food, paper or packaging.
Curbside debris must be free of overhead obstructions, maintain an 8' clear radius surrounding the debris, and should not obstruct the right-of-ways, according to the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Those who would like to dispose of their debris themselves can find disposal locations, the types of debris accepted, and guidance on debris removal on the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management's website.
Residents are encouraged to photograph damage before mucking and gutting begins and should save receipts for any costs related to the flooding. Guidance on how to safely remove debris is available at dhsem.nm.gov/debris.

Three local parks to close due to heat this month
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The County of San Diego is closing three parks in August as the summer temperatures rise. The public will not be able to access El Capitan Preserve near Lakeside, Hellhole Canyon Preserve in Valley Center and Mt. Gower Preserve in Ramona for the entire month. In May, the county also closed two other parks located in or near Anza Borrego desert, Agua Caliente Regional Park and Vallecito County Park. Both will reopen Labor Day weekend. The Department of Parks and Recreation staff will use the closures to conduct maintenance such as trail restoration. Brush fire burning near homes in Rancho Bernardo; evacuation warning issued The County of San Diego provided safety tips for hiking during the summer months: Choose hikes that are appropriate for your skills and physical condition. Go with the safest option trail if heat may be an issue for part of the hike. Stay hydrated. Drink water before, during and after hiking. Check weather forecasts and be familiar with the terrain for your trail. Let someone know where you will be and when you plan to return. Don't just rely on your cell phone because it can lose reception in remote areas. Hike with others, never alone. Bring a backpack or bag with food and water, extra sunscreen to reapply and a flashlight, first aid kit, multipurpose tool or knife and a whistle. Park rangers recommend carrying one liter, about one quart, for every 2 to 3 miles. Bring more water than you think you'll need—and even more water on longer or strenuous trails. Non-perishable items like dried fruit, energy bars, trail mix, peanut butter, canned tuna, whole grain crackers and jerky are a perfect, healthy snack. They provide fuel to boost your energy levels and to make up for lost calories. Don't forget your hat and sunglasses and apply sunscreen. Dress in layers of breathable, light-colored, loose-fitting clothes that you can take on and off, based on the temperature and can prevent sunburn. Good boots provide grip in rocky and slippery areas, but they also provide a thick layer of protection from the hot earth. Follow posted safety rules. Print out a map of the trail to bring along to stay on track. Prolonged exposure to heat can cause disorientation or heat stroke. Leave your dog or dogs at home. Dogs get overheated easily.
