USGS officials to give lecture on ARkStorm potential at Tahoe

Dale Cox and Michael Dettinger with the U.S. Geological Survey will discuss ARkStorm impacts at Lake Tahoe on Jan. 31 at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences in Incline Village.

The no-host bar opens at 5:30pm, with the presentation begins 6pm. Cost is $5.

The USGS is working with local communities to use the science, technology, expertise and meteorological data behind the ARkStorm scenario to test the resiliency of communities and expose vulnerabilities usually only realized following catastrophic events. Modeling such an extreme event allows officials at all levels to be prepared when disaster strikes.
