SierraMudre.Info and SierraMadreNews.net are basically one-person operations. If I am out patrolling the area, or working, or out of town, or just out of the office, or away from my computer for any reason, I may not be aware that an alert has come in. SierraMadreNews.net and SierraMudre.info offer this website and the e-mail alert program as a public service, and accept no responsibility for the passage of time between alerts arriving in our office and the posting on our site or the sending of an alert by our program. By signing up for this e-mail alert program, you are acknowledging that you recognize that alerts may not be sent in a timely manner, and agree to hold harmless and indemnify SierraMadreNews.net, SierraMudre.info, The Coburn Group and Bill Coburn in the event of any damage or harm caused by storms, mudflow and debris. E-mail notices will be sent when we post notices that we have received alerts regarding potential mudflow or change in storm alert status from any government agency, i.e., the City of Sierra Madre, Los Angeles County, Los Angeles County Dept. of Public Works, etc. For OFFICIAL news and information, visit the City's emergency blog: http://sierramadrepio.blogspot.com SIGN UP FOR THE SIERRAMUDRE.INFO E-MAIL ALERT NOTICE PROGRAM
