Visit the new What's Up section on our site and check out my interview with Elizabeth Tzagournis about how our MAPPS program was developed.

ALERTWildfire is a network of nearly 1,000 specialized camera installations used by first responders and volunteers to detect wildfires before they become too big. The cameras also support critical evacuation and firefighting efforts by relaying real-time information when it’s needed most.

We’re fundraising to enable the next decade of ALERTWildfire’s wildfire protection network through the Tahoe Prosperity Center, the official non-profit of the ALERTwildfire effort, and the organization that raised funds for the first camera network in Lake Tahoe that has helped stop over 100 wildfires since coming online.

We teamed up with Google employees who volunteered their time to help create this fundraising campaign. We also hope you will please share this campaign. The devastation we’ve seen already this summer, from the #CaldorFire, #DixieFire, and #Bootleg fire, shows just how vulnerable our communities are and why we need better protection.

Perhaps it’s time we recognize the world for what it is, one humongous ventilator, and we’re all on it. The air that we leave to our grandkids will determine their longevity. Remember what our mothers told us, “Cleanliness, Honey, is next to Godliness.” Mom was right, and she still is when it comes to washing our hands and cleaning the air that we breathe.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially approved Pfizer-BioNTech’s two-dose COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 16 years of age and older. The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA) for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals. The Pfizer vaccine will now be called Comirnaty.

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office has learned of closures put in place in forests surrounding Lake Tahoe due to fires.
This image is a smoke projection provided by Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and can be accessed with the button below.
In response to the proximity of the Caldor Fire, there are two important closures to be aware of:
• The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit has closed the Desolation Wilderness, Meiss Backcountry, Baker Pass Road and Blackwood Creek, and Pacific Crest Trail/Tahoe Rim Trail along the West Shore
• The USDA Forest Service is closing National Forests in Northern California STARTING AUGUST 22 - SEPTEMBER 6
THIS MEANS THAT THE TAHOE BASIN AND TAHOE NATIONAL FOREST SURROUNDING TRUCKEE WILL BE CLOSED LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
We know how many of our community members love our many outdoor recreation areas. Please be mindful of these closures, and above all — be safe.

One night over dinner, away back in 1873, the wives of Mark Twain and neighbor Charles Warner challenged the two distinguished authors to collaborate on a book about a sensational murder, and paint that murder with political satire. That challenge was met, and we have The Gilded Age to enjoy today.

It's always the perfect time for Chicken & Waffles!

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office detectives and MAIT investigators arrested Paul Valdez, 45, of Incline Village in connection with a hit-and-run crash which occurred in early July in Incline Village. Valdez self-surrendered in the arrest which occurred August 12, 2021.

Deputies were initially called to the scene located at the intersection of Alder Avenue and Village Boulevard the night of July 2, 2021. They found a 14-year-old boy in a ditch with injuries to his leg. Witnesses had said the boy was riding a bicycle on Village Boulevard when he was hit by the driver of a red Jeep Wrangler making a turn onto Alder Avenue. The driver of the Jeep got out, said something to the juvenile, then drove off.

Valdez is charged with one felony count of failing to stop at the scene of an accident which involved personal injury.
