Wildfire Prep: Home
Having a practiced routine is vital to staying safe. Here are a few tips that can help you and your family prepare before wildfires even begin.
Wildfires can happen suddenly and spread quickly.
Now's the time to put your wildfire preparation into action.
Do your best to know what's going on around you.
If you haven't received evacuation orders yet, but see signs of a wildfire, call 9-1-1. Don't assume that someone else already has.
Inform your out-of-town contact via phone or social media of your situation.
Once you get the order to evacuate, leave right away. You may only have a small window of time to get out safely.
If you have not received the order to leave your property, these actions can be taken only if it is safe to do so.
NOTE: Please consider the air quality. If there is a lot of smoke in the area, it’s best to stay inside.
Remove combustible materials within 5 feet of any structure.
Clear away any flammable materials like pine needles and dead leaves.
Watering anywhere within 30 feet of structures can help discourage a wildfire.
Even when a wildfire has passed, or it seems that you are no longer in danger, there are steps you should take to ensure your safety.
Be sure to take care of yourself as you take care of your things.
