BE READY FOR WILDFIRE EVACUATION
When instructed to evacuate by officials - please leave immediately! Follow these steps BEFORE it's time to GO!
- Review your Evacuation Plan Checklist.
- Ensure your Emergency Supply Kit/Evacuation Bag is packed and next to the door.
- Cover yourself to protect against heat and flying embers. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt (100% cotton is preferable), heavy shoes/boots, cap, and a bandanna, goggles, or glasses for face protection.
If you have 15 MINUTES or less (in addition to the previous actions...) Do these in order of importance:
- Close all windows, doors, and the garage.
- Shut off the air conditioning.
- Leave on all lights so firefighters can see your home in smoke.
- Shut off propane tanks and move barbecues away from the house.
- Shut off the gas at the meter and turn off pilot lights.
