Wildfire Preparedness Checklist

The Wildfire Preparedness Checklist provides essential guidelines for individuals and families to prepare for a wildfire emergency. It is designed for anyone living in areas prone to wildfires and wildfire smoke and emphasizes the importance of evacuation planning, stocking essential supplies, creating a portable 3-day "go-kit," and a 2-week "stay-at-home" kit. The resource offers information on how to stay informed, like signing up for emergency alerts from local authorities who will notify you when to evacuate. The checklist also emphasizes the importance of first aid and CPR skills, and reducing wildfire smoke exposure risks.
