🚨Hello everyone! We want to provide some updates on how GBI is working around the Davis Fire and its impacts. All GBI personnel are safe and in daily communication with the leadership team. We are closely monitoring the situation and making decisions to ensure the well-being of our staff, seasonals and partners and the continuity of our operations. As with all our work at GBI, our priorities are much like those of the emergency and fire response services tackling this fire: 1️⃣ Human life and safety 2️⃣ Property 3️⃣ Other values at risk As per local authorities, everyone is urged to avoid non-essential travel, stay indoors to minimize smoke exposure, and follow evacuation orders if directed. For up-to-date information, visit the Washoe County Emergency Management page or listen to local emergency broadcasts. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the fire and emergency response teams for their tireless efforts. We extend our deepest sympathy to those who have lost property or belongings. The collaboration among our agency partners across the county has been remarkable, and we stand with the Reno community during this challenging time. #HTNF #BLM #NVDEPTOFFORESTRY #GBI #GreatBasinInstitute
