Wildfire
What is a wildfire?
A wildfire is a fast-spreading, uncontrolled fire that affects vegetation like forests, grasslands, or brush. It is fueled by dry conditions, strong winds, and flammable materials.
Preparedness
Prepare yourself to minimize the impact of wildfires by creating a defensible space around your property. Remove debris, dry vegetation, and flammable materials.
Evacuation Plan
During a wildfire or evacuation order, ensure you have a well-defined evacuation plan. Identify multiple evacuation routes and establish a meeting place outside the affected area.
Safety Measures
Prioritize your safety with these measures: Stay indoors, keeping windows and doors closed, to minimize smoke exposure. If evacuation is not feasible, find shelter in a spacious, open area devoid of vegetation.
Stay Informed
Stay informed about wildfire updates through reliable sources like local fire departments, emergency management agencies, and official social media channels.
