Wildfire Evacuation
Homeowners living in the wildland/urban interface need to be prepared to evacuate themselves, their pets and their livestock in the event of a wildfire disaster. Once evacuation orders have been given, it is vitally important that WUI residents leave early - 60 percent of lives lost to wildland fire are of those that chose to stay and wait and see, and then evacuated too late.
Ready, Set, Go: is a program for residents that can help you prepare for an evacuation in case of any emergency. With large scale disasters possible every month of the year, evacuations have become more commonplace. We encourage the adage, ‘when in doubt, get out!’ If you feel threatened, go! Keep in mind, in some cases, there is no time for formal evacuation notifications due to quickly changing conditions! Successfully preparing for a wildland fire enables you to take personal responsibility for protecting yourself, your family and your property. In order to achieve that goal, we use the Ready, Set, Go
