Already w88 live casino year, more than 25,000 wildfires in the U.S. have burned over 1.3 million acres, equating to 2,000-plus square miles. w88 live casino month, 20 homes in Southern California’s coastal town of Laguna Niguel burned to the ground, and prompted hasty evacuations by residents of 900 homes. To help Nevadans prepare for wildfire and evacuations, w88 live casino’s Living With Fire Program and numerous partners are offering two “Preparing for Wildfire and Evacuation” sessions, both in person and online, as part of the w88 live casino Wildfire Awareness Campaign.
The events are June 7 and June 16, with the first geared for residents of Douglas County’s Topaz Ranch Estates, and the second for Elko County’s Spring Creek community. Both areas face significant wildfire risk and challenges. While some event information is specific for those communities, other event information, such as packing a go-bag and evacuating animals, can be applicable for other communities.
w88 live casino and its Living With Fire Program partners will hold more w88 live casino Wildfire Awareness Campaign events through October. Recent w88 sports betting and partners ready Nevadans for wildfire, smoke and ozone.
In addition, w88 live casino and partners have worked to provide residents with a Wildfire Evacuation Checklist and other publications.

Keeping Nevadans safe
“I know firsthand how scary it is for my family and neighbors when wildfires threaten our community. We have only limited ways to get in and out.

Study sheds light on what influences water supplied by snowmelt
University leads study looking at over 500 locations in the U.S.

In the Western U.S., the majority of surface water is from mountain snow that melts and flows down to urban and rural communities. More than two-thirds of reservoir inflows are from snow, and roughly 40 million people, and much of the most agriculturally productive land, rely on two snowmelt-fed reservoirs. There is a lot of uncertainty in forecasting those water supplies, which makes meeting the needs of a growing population challenging for water managers. A new study led by researchers in our w88 live casino with support from our Experiment Station unit will help.
“Our goal,” study lead author and Graduate Researcher Beatrice Gordon said, “was to provide other scientists and water managers with a simple, but powerful framework that can be used to improve predictions w88 live casino the timing and amount of streamflow as climate change accelerates.”
The framework is centered around three factors:
- How much of the total winter snowfall is available at the end of the winter
- How fast snow melts
- When snow melts
The w88 live casino team, which included Associate Professor Adrian Harpold, also found that the relative importance of these factors for mountain water supplies varies geographically. The team is focusing its next efforts on understanding how these streamflow changes impact agriculturally dominated basins, including the Walker River Basin, which supplies water for agriculture in w88 live casino.
Providing critical information to decision-makers
“As someone who grew up in w88 live casino in the Western U.S., I know how much snow matters to our farming and ranching communities. And I’m excited to see how the work coming out of the team provides critical information to decision-makers who are currently grappling with these changes in our mountain water supplies.” – Graduate Researcher Beatrice Gordon
