Remember 2022’s historic wildfire season in New Mexico? Concern can quickly shift from wildfire to flooding, depending on where you live in New Mexico. This week, Chris and Gabby host experts from the U.S. Forest Service to talk about what the changing weather pattern this year has meant for fresh burn scars, and the summer efforts crews are making to protect people and properties. 


How are controlled burn operations working? Who’s at the highest risk for flooding? This week's guests are Rich Naden, the U.S. Forest Service Predictive Services Meteorologist, along with Micah Kiesow, a Soil and Watershed Program Manager for the Santa Fe National Forest and Burned Area Emergency Response Coordinator - also known as (BAER).
