Set - Prepare and Be Aware

GETTING SET

If the community status shifts to "Set" in the Ready, Set, Go!(PDF, 2MB)  model, it's time to prepare and stay aware. This stage requires you to ready yourself and your home for the possibility of evacuation. Stay aware and alert by monitoring fire weather conditions and make sure you’re signed up for emergency notifications through CodeRED, if you haven't already.

Being "Set" involves four key preparation steps that every household member should understand and complete well before a wildfire approaches:

  1. Create a Wildfire Action Plan that includes evacuation planning for your home, family and pets.

     

  2. Assemble an Emergency Supply Kit for each person in your household.

     

  3. Fill-out a Family Communication Plan(PDF, 44KB) that includes important evacuation and contact information.

     

  4. Protect What Is Important To You—Get Your Finances And Property Ready For Wildfires.
