ALERTWildfire Presentation with Dr. Graham Kent

How do we detect wildfires before they grow out of control? What can citizens do to mitigate the effects of wildfires? ALERTWildfire is a consortium of The University of Nevada, Reno and the University of Oregon providing fire cameras and tools to help firefighters and first responders. From 2016-2019 ALERTWildfire provided critical information for over 1,000 fires! Join the Sierra Club Tahoe Area Group at the Incline Village Library Meeting Room on Wednesday, February 26th from 5:00-6:00 pm to hear from Dr. Graham Kent, UNR, on his work spearheading the creation of this program. Learn about how local communities have started fire watches using these cameras, as well as cheap and easy things you can do to better fireproof your home and community!
