Recent Updates

Tahoe Guide is proud to present the 4th annual Tahoe Wildfire Preparedness Guide as a standalone publication for the first time in 2024. This guide provides resources for residents, vacation homeowners and visitors to prepare for a wildfire. The guide is a resource to be informed about local conditions; to create defensible space and take steps to safeguard homes and businesses against the threats of wildfires; to prepare your home, your family and your business in case of an evacuation; and tips on what to do if evacuation warnings and/or orders are issued and you need to leave.
