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 the link below 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.

NEW PODCAST ALERT! Joining Charlie in this episode are two extremely accomplished and confident individuals with resumes that have taken them on adventures into the mountains and wilderness of our planet and bold, scientific walks outside the space shuttle.

John Herrington is a retired Naval Test Pilot and NASA Astronaut who was the 143rd person to walk in space and the first Native American in history to do so. He recently worked on an IMAX film entitled "Into America's Wild" by MacGillivray Freeman, released in 2020.

Returning guest, Sue Purvis, is a wilderness medicine and avalanche instructor, author of the book 'Go Find,' and owns Crested Butte Outdoors International in Montana. They met on one of her mountain courses, and the universe saw fit to bring these two extraordinary humans and leaders together.

This fascinating and wide-ranging conversation explores what drives us to solve problems for ourselves, to build or fix things with our own hands, and how to balance the enjoyment with the wellness needs of being.

They discuss leadership, confidence, and the people who've inspired them along the way. They share stories of the people John and Sue have inspired with their work and examples.

In one particularly powerful part of the conversation, they reflect on our need to focus internally on ourselves and not just on constant external distractions. They draw parallels to humanity's dream of finding new habitats in space while we can barely take care of the world we already have.

Elmo. Some people don’t need a last name. Elmo was the youngest American to win the highest award for knowing the most about wine back in 1972, yet he was not a wine snob. He lived on the edge of Kapiolani Park in Waikiki and I used pass his patio on my morning runs.

One Sunday morning Elmo hailed me and invited me to join him for breakfast out there on the patio, but I had a few more miles to go and gracefully declined.

"Please!" he insisted, with a note of urgency in his voice that told me I should probably join him. We shook hands and he silently poured us both a glass of red wine. I could see my running was over for the day, and I waited patiently for him to make a toast.
