A virtual evacuation drill for Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows will be held on Sept. 18 at 4 p.m.
While the primary plans for wildfire Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows call for complete evacuation using Highway 89, this virtual drill will simulate the limited scenario of a wildfire closing Highway 89 in both directions. In such a scenario, existing fire plans employ the ski resort parking lots as Areas of Refuge.
Simulated evacuation orders will be sent through Nixle and Nextdoor at 3:55 p.m. That will be the signal to log into the meeting. Do not go to the ski area parking lots.
Sign up for Placer Alert at placer.ca.gov, which will be used in the case of an actual emergency. There will also be presentations from local rescue officials and from Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows on the upcoming ski season. | Sign in bit.ly/38AZfXZ. Call in (213) 279-1097.
