Nevada ARES Stand Down as Flood Threat Abates:

eHam.net News — Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers and emergency
operations centers (EOCs) in Nevada stood down this week as the threat
of additional widespread flooding damage diminished. Over the weekend,
ARES members in Nevada stood ready to support the disaster response
effort. Recent heavy rainfall, sparked by a weather system called the
Pineapple Express, caused flooding along rivers and forced evacuations
in some areas of Nevada and neighboring California. The flooding
prompted Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval to declare a state of emergency. In
Reno, the Truckee River crested above 12 feet on January 9, and at 19.5
feet in Sparks.
