Wildfire Evacuation Prep for Northern Nevada | Reno News

Wildfires are tearing through Northern Nevada, forcing school closures and mass evacuations as thousands of acres burn. With emergency alerts on the rise, experts from the University of Nevada, Reno Extension offer a lifesaving go-bag checklist: pack cash, meds, ID, photos, and three days’ worth of food and water. Wear natural fibers like cotton or wool — no synthetics — and grab protective gear including gloves, goggles, and an N95 mask. Plan escape routes, designate a family meeting spot and out-of-town contact, and prep pets with trailers and IDs. Before leaving, secure your home by closing doors, turning off pilot lights, and covering windows. Never return until officials say it’s safe — stay tuned to official channels for updates.
