3 This year, the planning committee chose Be Ember Aware! as the theme and focus of promotional efforts. This served as a great launch to a planned educational campaign to continue teaching Nevada residents how to protect their homes from the threat of burning embers during a wildfire. Efforts included 121 events and activities with over 3,500 direct participants and approximately 1,232,000 indirect participants. This report summarizes those events and activities that occurred as part of NWAW.
