Community Safety + Emergency Preparedness

Tahoe Donner Wildfire Operating Guidelines

Tahoe Donner recognizes that wildfire smoke is now a regular health and safety concern for its members, guests and employees for many months of the year. Our overarching goal is to provide a healthy and safe environment for all these groups while also allowing for individual decision-making where appropriate. This operating guideline provides a structure for decision-making when wildfire smoke is anticipated and where it may impact programs and operations.

BURNING IS NOT CURRENTLY SUSPENDED. EXPECT A BURN BAN ISSUED BY TRUCKEE FIRE FROM JUNE THROUGH NOVEMBER IN THE TRUCKEE AREA. LEARN MORE.

Tahoe Donner is like no other homeowners association in the country because of its location, mountainous terrain, dynamic weather, wildland-residential interface and expansive amenities. Because of its location, residents should be aware of their environment and the potential hazards including but not limited to wildfire, earthquakes, fierce winter storms, wild animals and insects, and possible man-made disasters such as train derailment or tank accidents on I-80, all of which have the potential of affecting Tahoe Donner. Tahoe Donner is committed to safety by helping to educate, communicate and provide resources to members for emergency preparedness and incident information in the region in addition to being an active participant in local emergency response planning.

REMINDER: For emergency call 911. Non-emergency dispatch can be reached at (530) 550-2320.
