READY
| SET | GO
Give your household the best chance
of surviving a wildfire by being ready
to go and evacuating early.
Being ready to go means following
pre-evacuation steps, knowing when to
evacuate, preparing possible evacuation
routes, and knowing what to do if you
become trapped.
Be safe and don’t wait until it’s too late!
Use these checklists to help prepare you
and your family to be ready to evacuate
if wildfire strikes.
It is also important to learn what to expect
after a wildfire and what you should do
before returning home. The danger is
not over after the flames are put out.
KNOW THE LAW—BE
READY TO EVACUATE
California law authorizes officers to
restrict access to any area where a
menace to public health or safety exists
due to a calamity such as flood, storm,
fire, earthquake, explosion, accident,
or other disaster. Refusal to comply is
a misdemeanor. (Penal Code 409.5)
