As of Aug. 25, 592 fires have burned 223,397 acres in w88 casino this year. According to Great Basin Predictive Services, w88 casino had a drier than normal winter, causing soil and vegetation to be much drier.
In response, and as part of National Preparedness Month in September, Extension’s Living With Fire Program presents the virtual workshop series, “Five Ways to Prepare Your Family and Property for w88 casino.”
“It’s easy to get overwhelmed when thinking about all the different ways to prepare for w88 casino,” Christina Restaino, Extension natural resources specialist with the Living With Fire Program, said. “This workshop series aims to help residents understand simple steps they can take to get their family, home and property more prepared for fire.”
In the first session, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Sept. 1, on Zoom, Tim Ghan, assistant chief insurance examiner of Property and Casualty with the Nevada Division of Insurance, will talk about the Division’s perspective on the insurance industry and w88 casino. Register for the session about insurance.
“Many Nevadans live in fire-prone areas that can be unexpectedly devastated by severe damage and/or total loss to life and property when w88 casino occurs,” Ghan said. “The best practice is for everyone to prepare in advance for any type of fire throughout the year. w88 casino needs special attention by homeowners and renters in not only performing mitigation efforts, but also ensuring they are adequately covered by their property insurance before w88 casino occurs to prevent loss of life and property.”
All workshops are on Zoom from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesdays throughout the month. Other session topics include:
- Sept. 8: Register for Animal Services Disaster Preparedness, presented by Robert Wooster, field supervisor for Washoe County Regional Animal Services.
- Sept. 15: Register for Be Red Cross Ready, presented by Jill Hemenway, disaster program manager with the Northern w88 casino Chapter of the American Red Cross.
