Fire Safety & Preparedness
As we enter another fire season and with several fires in the region, please remember to take some basic steps to be ready for fire and evacuation, particularly to have a "go-bag" packed, with needed medications, food, water, flashlight, batteries, important documents, a change of clothes, and other essential items -- see https://www.readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/get-set/emergency-supply-kit/
