Priorities for 2026

• Install improved, bilingual danger signage with international symbols
• Add earlier and clearer warnings at multiple creek exit points
• Improve tracking of all rescue assists, including non-dispatched incidents
• Continue coordination with emergency and rescue partners
• Explore partnerships for additional ambassador stations (e.g., Gateway Trailhead)
