Supervisor Novasel recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign a Proclamation declaring May - October 2021 as the Lake Tahoe Basin Wildfire Awareness Campaign.

 

Body

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

Historically, May has been identified as Wildfire Awareness Month, but with the increase in the severity and duration of fire season, along with the increase in visitation and associated fire risk during the pandemic, the team has pivoted to a seasonal awareness campaign as a means to educate visitors and residents throughout the season.
