SLT neighborhood to be evacuated during test

South Lake Tahoe and allied law enforcement agencies will be hosting a neighborhood evacuation drill Oct. 1 from 10am-noon.

The neighborhood will receive a reverse 911 call to test the system.

Evacuation maps for the entire city can be found online.

The Highlands Evacuation Drill will affect approximately 160 homes and 270 residents. Residents who wish to participate in the evacuation drill are encouraged to do so by “evacuating” to the snow dump area at the end of Sierra Boulevard. A public information officer will be at the site as well as Red Cross serving snacks.
