Gov. Sandoval declares state of emergency for Northern Nevada, Carson City
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has declared a state of emergency due to the severe weather system developing in Northern Nevada and the consequent danger to life and damage to property, said Carson City Deputy Emergency Manager Stacey Belt.
Residents are urged to take personal precautions because of the heavy rainfall and high potential for flooding, she said.
Belt said non-emergency flood-related events can be reported to the city by calling (775) 887-2355. However, residents should refrain from calling 9-1-1 for non-emergent matters.
Residents should plan to stay off roads that are susceptible to flooding, Belt said.
An evacuation center has been established at the Latter-Day Saints Church, 411 S. Saliman Street, just south of Carson High School, she said.
The center is open and able to assist residents who have lost power or are experiencing flooding.
The Carson City Salvation Army is assisting the American Red Cross and the LDS church for evacuation center management.
"The Salvation Army and (Captain) Mark Cyr [are] always willing, regardless of our call for need," Belt said. "They provide all the food, which is healthy, plentiful and fresh."
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Warning for the region. Go here to read the current warning.
