This week, the Nevada National Guard 92nd Civil Support Team conducted a mock training exercise at our Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility, Northern Nevada’s largest wastewater treatment plant. The exercise simulated a chemical/biological attack. It’s so important to complete these trainings so we are as prepared as possible for a real emergency.

The US National Weather Service Reno Nevada is calling for rain and possible flooding in burn areas this week. Our teams will have sandbags at Shadow Mountain Sports Complex and Cottonwood Park. Please bring a shovel to fill your sandbags, and remember to dispose of the bags properly when they are no longer needed.

The National Weather Service says rain, gusty winds and possible thunderstorms are in the forecast tonight through Thursday, with snow possible at higher elevations. Some showers may bring heavy rain and localized flooding, especially in poor drainage areas and near recent burn scars.

Take extra caution if you live in or near these burn scars. After a fire, burned soil may repel water, allowing rain to run off quickly and carry ash, rocks and debris downhill.

Take time now to prepare:

• Clear leaves and debris from gutters and drains around your property.
• Fill sandbags if you need them.
• Never walk or drive through floodwater. Turn around and find another route.

City of Reno sandbag locations (bring a shovel; we have bags):

• Mira Loma Park, 3000 South McCarran Blvd.
• Moya Boulevard and Red Baron Boulevard
• Reno Fire Station #5, 1500 Mayberry Drive
• Horseman’s Park, 2800 Pioneer Drive
• Idlewild Park, Peace Officer Memorial, 2055 Idlewild Drive
• City of Reno Corporation Yard, 1640 East Commercial Row
