Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Hosting Presentation in Stateline About Lake Tahoe Evacuation Protocol

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office will be hosting a presentation on evacuations for Lake Tahoe residents. The presentation will take place today, April 29, at 5:30 p.m. at the Kahle Community Center in the Tallac Room in Stateline. It is open to all members of the community. Representatives from the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District and Nevada State Police, along with Sheriff Coverly, will be discussing safety protocols for residents in case of an evacuation. Two topics to be discussed will be the county's new Perimeter App, and the Reverse 911 system. Both systems allow first responders to send emergency notifications directly to residents' phones. "We understand that evacuation procedures can be overwhelming and confusing for residents," said Sheriff Coverley.
