  • Take a Disaster Supplies Kit with you.

  • Choose a route away from the fires and watch for changes in the speed and direction of fire and smoke.

    • Seal attic and ground vents outside the home.
    • Turn off propane tanks.
    • Place combustible patio furniture inside.
    • Connect the garden hose to outside spigots.
