In partnership with North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, Sierra Avalanche Center, Incline Village General Improvement District, Nevada Office of Emergency Management, and FEMA, Washoe County is now unveiling a new avalanche safety and warning sign to prevent avalanches often caused by backcountry recreation.
Davis Creek Regional Park will receive 150 Jeffrey pine trees, and the St. James Village neighborhood adjacent to the park that suffered widespread fire damage will receive an additional 150 trees, donated along with soil additives and fertilizer from Moana Nursery.
Residents of Reno, Sparks, and unincorporated Washoe County have received or will soon receive a notice in their sewer bills regarding Smart911, the region’s emergency alert system. The notice informs customers that they have been automatically enrolled in Smart911 using the contact information associated with their sewer accounts. Smart911 delivers geographically targeted emergency alerts, such as evacuation orders or shelter-in-place notices, through cell phone, landline, or email, depending on the contact method linked to each account. These alerts differ from the broader emergency messages broadcast on television and radio, which often cover entire regions.
Washoe County, in alignment with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements and obligations, has updated flood hazard information using the latest data and mapping technology in the Swan Lake and Silver Lake areas of Washoe County. The remapping effort focuses on updating the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) that identify the 1 percent risk (100-year) flood risks around Swan Lake and Silver Lake. This is one of several areas in Washoe County to be analyzed and remapped.
