ALERTWildfire is a network of nearly 1,000 specialized camera installations used by first responders and volunteers to detect wildfires before they become too big. The cameras also support critical evacuation and firefighting efforts by relaying real-time information when it’s needed most.
We’re fundraising to enable the next decade of ALERTWildfire’s wildfire protection network through the Tahoe Prosperity Center, the official non-profit of the ALERTwildfire effort, and the organization that raised funds for the first camera network in Lake Tahoe that has helped stop over 100 wildfires since coming online.
We teamed up with Google employees who volunteered their time to help create this fundraising campaign. We also hope you will please share this campaign. The devastation we’ve seen already this summer, from the #CaldorFire, #DixieFire, and #Bootleg fire, shows just how vulnerable our communities are and why we need better protection.
