Alert from Hays County Sheriff's Office

Subject: FYI on call for Highway Patrol Donation - don't do it!
 
Beware of calls from "supposedly" the Highway Patrol to donate to their campaign and receive the window stickers. It is a SCAM.

2010 Census

The 2010 Census is underway. RMR residents may be contacted in person by US Government Census personnel. An article concerning some common sense precautions to prevent identity theft is provided at this link: Census Cautions. The article was extracted from the 28 November 2009 edition of the Wimberley View.

Neighborhood Watch Organization in RMR

We are seeking volunteers to be Block Captains for the River Mountain Ranch Neighborhood Watch Program. We still need a block captain for Mount View. 

The responsibilities of the block captains are:
• Be aware of any possible criminal activity or fire dangers on your block.
• Notify the police, EMS, or fire Department when necessary.
• Have a back up block captain for vacations, etc.
• Help to locate possible water sources, both current and future, on your block and help the Firewise committee determine who may be willing to allow the fire department to utilize their water source in the event of a catastrophe.
• Be aware of elderly or handicapped neighbors who might require additional assistance in the event of an emergency.

 All residents of RMR, especially the Block Captains, need to be aware of suspicious activity and act as the eyes an ears for our local law enforcement.  Other responsibilities for a Block Captain are to notify our neighbors of wildfire, or other emergency situations.  If you see something suspicious and feel it is an emergency, call 911.  Do not approach or try to apprehend them, PLEASE, for your own safety!   Contact your Block Captain so he/she may notify the other neighbors.  This is what is known as the telephone tree. Also, if you have a primary and secondary contact number or e-mail preference, contact your Block Captain or the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator for this update.
 
Our first participation in the National Night Out event which, in Texas, was October 6th (August 4th for other states).  National Night Out is a time where we can visit with our neighbors, possibly have a cool beverage and pick up some educational information on home and neighborhood safety.  Photos from our 6 October National Night Out event can be viewed by clicking on the link in the right side column on this page or on the Community Events & Activities page.

If you would be willing to be a block captain for your street or just want to become involved with the RMR Neighborhood Watch, please contact the RMR Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, Cathy Kubica, by email: firewise_data@rivermountainranch.org, or phone: 847-8066.
