Up and at 'em, Reno! Here's everything you need to know to get this Saturday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Sun and areas of high clouds. High: 65 Low: 40.

Here are the top stories today in Reno:

  1. Now that state lawmakers have had a chance to look at the data from the 2020 census, they have the obligation to redraw the state's district boundaries. Democrats released their proposed maps, Tuesday. Their proposal would change all four of Nevada's congressional districts. Democratic leaders say the maps are drawn to account for Nevada's population growth and diversity. They say it expands voting power to African Americans and Hispanics and increase opportunities for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. (KTVN)
  2. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office on Thursday requested a hazardous materials decontamination team respond to the jail. However, it was done out of an abundance of caution, sheriff public information officer Sarah Johns said. There is no evidence of hazardous materials at this point. The incident comes a day after fentanyl was found at the jail and a hazardous materials team responded. (KOLO)
  3. The Washoe County Health District (WCHD) will administer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to those aged 5-11 years at its 1001 E. 9th Street, Building B location on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021. (KTVN)
