Today, I am glad to be joined by State officials and representatives from the @NVNationalGuard, @NVEmergencyMgmt, @NevDCNR, and more in order to provide updates on NV’s preparations & response to the #CaldorFire. Follow my live press conference here: fb.watch/7KcxHcIkC5/

First and foremost, on behalf of the great State of Nevada, I would like to thank our brave first responders, local government agencies, and nonprofit entities who continue to go above and beyond to assist our communities during these trying times.

I just finished a briefing with representatives across the Nevada State government, and our federal delegation @MarkAmodeiNV2 and representatives from @SenJackyRosen and @SenCortezMasto’s office. I want to thank them for their leadership.

We are using all of our resources – and coordinating closely with Cal Fire – the lead for the #CaldorFire – to ensure the health and safety of all our residents, protect structures, including homes and businesses, and our beautiful Lake Tahoe.

I am impressed at the progress that’s been made in the last 24 hours alone since I issued a declaration of emergency.

Because of the advanced planning and preparation by the @NVEmergencyMgmt, @NevDCNR, @nevadadot & so many more – the declaration allowed us to move quickly, including mobilizing the @NVNationalGuard. I will now turn it over to subject matter experts to provide further updates.
