The county of Nevada provides evacuation zone information on Genasys.

In the event of a wildfire or other emergency situation, law enforcement and fire agencies issue evacuation warnings or evacuation orders for affected areas. These notices are issued for a ZONE with an EVACUATION STATUS.

Authorities will use Zone Names (a combination of letters and numbers) in emergency alerts, media releases, and on social media to notify residents which areas are under an evacuation warning or order. Follow the 3 steps below to find and remember your zone.

Montana Wildfire Smoke offers many useful resources regarding wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke containing fine particulate matter can cause eye and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, shortness of breath, congestion, coughing, impaired lung function, and chest pain. When air quality is poor, the primary public health message is to stay indoors. However, not all community members have the same ability to limit smoke exposure in the buildings where they live, work, attend school, or spend time indoors. The Sierra Fund is working with local public health officials and service providers to ensure equitable access to places with cleaner air during wildfire.

Watch Duty, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alerts one of nearby wildfires and firefighting efforts in real-time.

Information in Watch Duty is provided by volunteers – firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders – who monitor radio scanners and other sources to supply users with up-to-date information.

During a wildfire event, it's important to check other trusted information sources. Information featured in Watch Duty, due to the nature of its operation, is fast-changing and should usually not be used as a standalone source for critical news and updates.

Features include:

• Real-time Wildfire Alerts
  Receive notifications about the status and conditions on the ground as they change.
• Monitor Wildfires and Prescribed Burns
  Know if that smoke in the distance is a fire you need to be worried about.
• Evacuation Orders & Shelters
  Find evacuation notices, as well as shelters for people and animals.
