GO! – “ACT EARLY” (Evacuations have been put in place)
By leaving early you give your family the best chance of surviving a wildland fire. You also help firefighters by keeping roads clear of congestion, and avoid dangerous low visibility with heavy smoke. Flying embers and Spot fires can happen up to a mile ahead of the flame front with high winds.

Choose the safest route away from the fire. Have several travel routes in case one route is blocked by the fire or emergency vehicles. Stay informed on current road status, closures and hazards
WHAT TO TAKE
Take your emergency supply kit containing your family and pet’s medications and necessary items
EVACUATION PLANNING & KITS
It is important to make sure that your entire family is prepared and informed in the event of a disaster or emergency. You may not always be together when these events take place and should have plans for making sure you are able to contact and find one another. The American Red Cross suggests meeting with your family or household members to discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen where you live, learn, work and play. For more detailed information on creating a disaster preparedness plan visit The Red Cross website.
Being prepared means being equipped with the proper supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or disaster. Keep your supplies in an easy-to-carry emergency preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you in case you must evacuate.
At a minimum, you should have the basic supplies listed below:
Water—one gallon per person, per day (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week supply for home)
Food—non-perishable, easy-to-prepare items (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week supply for home)
Flashlight
Battery-powered or hand-crank radio
Extra batteries
First aid kit
Medications (7-day supply) and medical items
Multi-purpose tool
Sanitation and personal hygiene items
Copies of personal documents (medication list and pertinent medical information, proof of address, deed/lease to home, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies)
Cell phone with chargers
Family and emergency contact information
Extra cash
Emergency blanket
