READY for potential evacuation. Make sure that your home is defensible. Remove brush and debris from gutters and around your home. Follow the “FireWise” home preparation protocol from the NFPA, linked here. Create an evacuation plan and be sure that all household members are familiar with the plan. Gather all emergency supplies and create an emergency supply kit. Be up to date with your insurance and take a video home inventory. Closely monitor the situation.
SET to evacuate. Prepare to leave at a moment’s notice! Do final fireproofing preparations of your house- turn off gas, remove flammable curtains and blinds, and move flammable furniture to the center of the room. Have a mobile radio ready to stay up to date with emergency notifications in case of poor cell coverage. Check in with your neighbors and make sure that they are preparing to evacuate as well. Start packing your vehicle and back your car into the driveway to ensure quick and seamless evacuation. If you feel threatened don’t wait for a final evacuation notice, just go!

GO! Evacuate immediately! Make sure all household members are accounted for. Close all windows and leave exterior lights on so your house is visible to firefighters in the smoke.
