Joe Lombardo: “This emergency declaration gives Nevada the federal resources we need to move quickly and aggressively on Hawk Fire…”

The men and women of the Nevada National Guard answered the call when their neighbors needed them most.

I am grateful to the firefighters, first responders, emergency personnel, and community members working around the clock to keep Nevadans safe.

We’ve already shown that we’re willing to do our part, but the Colorado River is a shared resource, so the solution needs to involve everybody.

I commend the Gaming Control Board for their diligent work to uphold Nevada’s longstanding regulatory standards.
