Evacuation preparation Rather than wait until an evacuation order is issued, it is important that you prepare early so that you are ready to go at a moment's notice. Make sure to fuel up your vehicle so that you are not waiting in a long line or risk not having fuel when it is time to evacuate. When preparing to evacuate, make sure to pack important documents such as birth certificates, car titles, proof of address, passports, social security cards, and other important documents that may be difficult to replace. Pack clothing, sleeping bags/blankets, tents (if you have one), heirlooms, hard drives with recent computer back ups, laptops, water, food rations, flash lights, toiletries, medication, and any other essential item or keepsake, and don't forget your pets and their food.
Make sure to identify an evacuation route and in the event that you need to evacuate, let your neighbors, friends, or family members know when you left, where you are leaving from, where you are heading, and the best way to get in contact with you. It may also be worth posting this information on social media so that friends and family can also find that information there. Below there are links for more information on the fire and additional resoures. Please remember to prepare, stay calm, and stay alert. Our firefighters are doing everything in their power to protect our community and we must do our part to protect ourselves.
