CARSON CITY, Nev. – On Monday, April 20, Douglas County and Carson City Emergency Management—along with regional emergency response partners—will conduct a Wildfire Evacuation Exercise near Clear Creek Tahoe. To test their emergency notification systems, they will send three separate notifications at noon, 1 p.m., and 2 p.m.

“This is only an exercise. There is no actual wildfire or evacuation order in effect. Please do not take real evacuation actions unless you receive a non-exercise alert,” a Douglas County Facebook post stated.

Notifications will be delivered via voice call, email, and/or text, depending on how a resident’s account is set up.

“We’re running this test to see which residents receive which notifications and to check for any crossover in delivery,” the post continued.
