Wildfire Safety Tips- November 2023

It can be a matter of life or death. Be proactive in protecting yourself and others; take the time to create a 5-minute plan to evacuate from fires. With a clear escape route, you can leave at a moment's notice, keeping your loved ones safe from harm.
 
Remember, waiting for official evacuation orders might be too late – act quickly when it feels unsafe.
 
To ensure a smooth evacuation process:

• Establish a meeting place for your family.
• Prepare an emergency kit containing essentials like medication, important documents, clothes, food, and water.
• Stay updated with weather reports and Red Flag Warnings.
• If it's time to leave, have your emergency bags packed and gather your family, including pets.
• Don't delay; evacuate promptly.
