Local agencies and experts provide practical guidance for residents and property owners.

A Wildfire Preparedness & Mitigation Community Seminar will be held on May 26th in Incline Village, bringing together local agencies, service providers, and community partners to provide residents with clear, actionable guidance on reducing wildfire risk.

As wildfire preparedness continues to be a priority across the Tahoe Basin, the seminar is designed to move beyond general awareness and offer practical steps homeowners can take to better protect their properties.

The event will feature participation from organizations actively working in wildfire mitigation and emergency response, including the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, the Tahoe Resource Conservation District, and IVGID, along with local insurance professionals and home hardening experts.

Attendees can expect information and guidance on:

• Creating and maintaining defensible space
• Home hardening strategies to reduce vulnerability
• What fire professionals evaluate during property assessments
• Evolving insurance considerations in wildfire-prone areas
• Local programs and resources available to support mitigation efforts

The seminar is open to anyone interested in better understanding wildfire preparedness and risk reduction.
