Ready, Set, Go!
Ready
Preparation starts long before a wildfire threatens your area. Build an emergency kit, create a family communication plan, sign up for local emergency alerts, and know your evacuation zone. Reduce wildfire risk around your home by maintaining defensible space and removing flammable vegetation. Taking these steps now will help you respond quickly when an emergency occurs.
Set
A wildfire is nearby, and conditions indicate you may need to evacuate soon. Stay informed through official local emergency alerts, gather your emergency supplies, and make final preparations to leave. If you or a member of your household needs extra time to evacuate, consider leaving early.
Go
Leave immediately when a GO evacuation order is issued. Follow directions from emergency personnel, use designated evacuation routes, and avoid closed roads or restricted areas. Delaying evacuation can put you and first responders at greater risk.
