2022 Wildfire Evacuation Drill

Saturday, July 16

9:30 a.m.

Alpine Meadows Parking Lot #4

 

Practice, practice, practice…the best way to prepare for a mandatory evacuation is to practice. Please join us and practice a situation where there has been a mandatory evacuation order.

A mandatory evacuation order is issued and you have 15-30 minutes to leave, what do you do?

·       Dress in cotton clothing (long-sleeved shirt and pants) and boots/hiking shoes;

·       Review your evacuation checklist;

·       Grab your “Go” bag; and

·       Join us at in the ski area parking lot.

We will hear from the Placer County Sheriff’s Department and North Tahoe Fire Protection District about evacuating from Alpine Meadows in case of a wildfire. They will share what was learned from the Caldor Fire and the evacuation of South Lake Tahoe.
