PREPARATION
Steps You Can Take to Be Prepared
- Have Your GO Bag Ready: Pack essentials like clothing, medications, important documents, water, non-perishable food, phone chargers, and a flashlight. Include masks and any supplies you'd need for children, pets, or elderly family members.
- Charge Up and Fuel Up: Fully charge your phones and backup batteries. Ensure your vehicle's gas tank is full or your electric car is fully charged.
- Stay Alert: Sign up for NotifyLA for real-time updates. Download the Watch Duty app to monitor active wildfires. Monitor LAFD alerts, weather reports, and local news. If you are an iPhone user, make sure your emergency, public safety, and government alerts are turned on.
- Plan Your Route: Know multiple ways to leave your neighborhood in case of an evacuation. Have a plan to reunite with family or loved ones if you're separated.
- Prepare Your Home: Clear debris, dead leaves, and other flammable materials from around your home. Ensure garden hoses are connected and ready to use. Close windows and vents to prevent embers from entering your home.
- Help Emergency Services: Park off the street whenever possible to leave roads clear for first responders. Stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel during peak winds, especially after 10 PM tonight.
