Extreme Heat Resources
Our Extreme Heat Resources guide is your go-to resource for staying safe during intense heat waves. It covers essential tips for recognizing and responding to heat stroke, and tips to stay cool and hydrated. Learn how to find a cooling center near you, a vital resource when temperatures soar. The guide also offers actionable advice on what to do in a heat wave, including keeping your home cool, conserving energy, staying informed about flex alerts, and protecting your pets.
Winter Weather
To prepare for winter storms, it’s important to ensure your home can withstand snow loads by checking for structural damage such as cracks, sagging floors, or displaced col- umns, especially in vulnerable structures like those with flat roofs or manufactured homes. Stay connected with neigh- bors, particularly those without power or transportation, and avoid driving on flooded roads.
Power Shutoff Resources
Our Power Shutoff Resources guide provides vital information to help you prepare for and navigate Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) or Public Safety Outage Management (PSOM) events. Discover what to do before an outage, including building an emergency kit and signing up for alerts to receive real-time notifications. If you have health or medical needs that require electricity, we can help you create a personalized plan to access resources during an outage.
Wildfire Resources
Our Power Shutoff Resources guide provides wildfire information for Nevada and Placer Counties, including Tahoe Truckee. During evacuations, a dedicated webpage will be updated with real-time details. Many resources listed here will also appear on those pages. Call 2-1-1 for help with emergency alerts, evacuation zones, “go bags,” and additional support like transportation, medications, and livestock transport.
