With more snow forecast, intermittent road closures and many residents still without power, Placer County will open an emergency shelter for tonight at the Truckee Tahoe Airport.

The airport is currently open as a place to warm up and charge phones and will remain open to overnight guests. Parking is available at the airport. Service animals will be the only pets the shelter can accommodate.

The North Tahoe Public Utility District offices at 221 Fairway Drive in Tahoe City will also remain open overnight, though only for warming and cell phone charging.

The Truckee Tahoe Airport is located at 10356 Truckee Airport Road in Truckee. Shelter coordinators can be reached at 530-412-0323.
