We Are a Fire Adapted Community, Engaged, Knowledgeable and working together to prevent and Prepare for Wildfire...
The risk of wildfire in the Lake Tahoe Basin is growing each year. To prevent loss of life, land, and personal property, follow along with these tips, checklists, and guidelines to become part of the Fire Adapted Community.
In 2021, a team of scientists from 5 institutions initiated a series of “rapid response” studies to quantify the impacts of wildfire smoke on Lake Tahoe’s water quality and ecosystems. The studies were supported by non-profit organizations, resource management agencies, private donors, and their individual institutions.
