A new Lake Tahoe Regional Evacuation Plan has been released, serving as a comprehensive resource for residents and visitors regarding evacuation procedures during emergencies, particularly wildfires. The 185-page document was developed collaboratively by 23 law enforcement, fire, and emergency management agencies across five counties in California and Nevada. Lt. Troy Morton emphasized the importance of coordination among jurisdictions, particularly highlighted during the 2021 Caldor Fire, which revealed challenges in evacuation logistics. The plan is described as a 'living document' and will be updated regularly, with public feedback being accepted until November 20. Local officials aim for the plan to enhance situational awareness for both residents and tourists in the region, ensuring they know exit routes and emergency protocols. The document consolidates various alert systems and evacuation strategies into a single accessible format.
