Website geared to teaching about dangers of drugs

South Lake Tahoe web developer Hanna Bernard created BeDrugSafe.com to help educate local parents and teens about the imminent threat of drugs in the area..

After hearing a presentation by Officer Rebecca Inman about drug use among Lake Tahoe teens, Bernard was inspired to create the site.

“The presentation was such an eye-opener that I felt I had to do something to spread this very ­important information to other parents,” Bernard said in a statement. “What do we need to know to protect our ­children? How do we identify the signs of drug use? What does these drugs look like and smell like? and What clues should we not miss?”

Bernard put the answers on the website. She worked with South Tahoe police officers as well as Lake Tahoe Unified and South Tahoe High officials on the site.
