AlertTAHOE...So Important

The library hosted Dr. Graham Kent, from the UNR Seismological Laboratory. Dr. Kent gave an incredibly interesting, and at times frightening, presentation on ALERT Tahoe.

ALERT Tahoe is a new, one-of-a-kind, fire camera and multi-hazard tracking system that includes smoke investigation, prescribed fire oversight, wildfire tracking, Earthquake Early Warning, and monitoring of extreme weather events. A prototype of the fire camera system is functioning, scoring early successes during the summer of 2014. Dr. Kent presented on the existing and planned camera system, having most of the audience on the edge of our seats.
Now, more than ever, a system like this is needed in the Tahoe basin. My hope is that everyone will donate to the AlertTAHOE campaign so we can stop fires before they devastate!
