Local Agencies Take a Look at Insurance in Nevada Community Input Needed to Inform Insurance Solutions for Residents
INCLINE VILLAGE, NEV. (May 5, 2022) - Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation, in collaboration with fire and insurance experts, are collecting information from Nevada residents to help inform creative and more sustainable home insurance solutions in the region. With the threat of wildfire ever-present in the Tahoe community, having data that supports the challenges of securing and maintaining fire insurance will help these partnering agencies to develop strategies addressing insurance problems that residents may have.

“Fire prevention and safety has always been one of our top priorities,” said Claudia Andersen, CEO of Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation. “Understanding the needs of our community when it comes to insurance is vital so that we can address the risks that come when living with wildfire and take steps to enhance the well-being and safety of our residents.”

The five-minute survey can be taken online at NV Insurance Survey or by visiting www.parasol.org. All information collected through this survey will remain protected and no solicitation from insurance agencies will occur as a result of completing the survey.

The Tahoe Fund and EarthViews released the first-ever “Street View” style map of all 72 miles of Lake Tahoe’s shoreline. This new, interactive Lake Tahoe ShoreView Map offers a 360-degree view of the shoreline, as well as underwater views and water quality data.

“This map allows people to see Tahoe like never before,” said Amy Berry, CEO of the Tahoe Fund. “You can tour Emerald Bay, ‘paddle’ through the iconic rocks of Sand Harbor, or explore the hidden beaches along the East Shore with just the click of a button. Best of all, this new tool is bringing a wealth of data and information to scientists and conservation organizations working to improve the health of the Lake.”

The Incline Education Fund worked with the Nevada First-Gen Network to pilot a mentoring program for Incline Middle School students this summer.

The backstory: Nevada State Senator Heidi Seevers Gansert sponsored a bill in 2021 that led to the creation of the Nevada First-Gen Network (NFGN), a statewide initiative to help students across Nevada graduate from high school and achieve higher education.
Gansert was familiar with the 20+ year success of UNR’s Dean’s Future Scholars (DFS) mentoring program and wanted to find a way to expand that model throughout the state.

DFS Director, Dr. Mariluz Garcia agreed to pilot a program to find a way to do just that. She reached out to the Incline Education Fund to see if they would be interested in collaborating on a summer camp for students in Incline Village. The NFGN is an extension of that program.

The Incline summer camp ran 4 days/week for 3 weeks and gave the Incline Middle School (IMS) students an opportunity to gain college exposure through University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) college visits, tours and programming. IMS students were bussed to Reno twice/week to take part in activities on the UNR campus and were in Incline Village the other two days/week. Students spent mornings participating in STEM projects and learning about the many colleges at UNR and the other half of the day learning about leadership, team-building and just having fun. While in Incline, the Incline Education Fund coordinated the STEM programming for students with the UC Davis TERC program and partnered with IVGID, Pet Network and High Altitude Fitness for their outdoor activities.

The beauty of the program is that the NFGN mentors are graduates of the program themselves. They understand the importance of the mentorship piece and have pledged to continue mentoring these students throughout the school year and beyond. Regular check-in opportunities throughout the year are designed to deepen those relationships and help keep students engaged and on a path toward college or a vocation.

A special thanks to the American Association of University Women (Tahoe Nevada), the Parasol Community Foundation and the Boys & Girls Club, North Lake Tahoe in Incline Village, and Vicki Cruz Photography for their collaboration.

With your assistance, IEF can grow this program, not only for current participants but for others down the line. Your dollars would be used to inspire students to love learning and give them the tools to create a successful career path. If you would like to donate to this program, please go to the IEF website and choose Dean’s Future Scholars under the Donate tab: https://www.inclineeducationfund.org/donate/
