Create your Wildfire Action Plan
Developing a well-thought-out Wildfire Action Plan is crucial for every household. Tailor your plan to address specific family needs and situations, ensuring everyone is well-prepared ahead of a wildfire.

Your Wildfire Action Plan should include:
- Meeting point: A predetermined meeting location outside high-risk areas to determine who has evacuated from the affected area.
- Escape routes: Several escape routes, known to all in your household. Practice these often so everyone in your family knows where to go.
- Animal arrangements: Specific arrangements for pets and larger animals, like horses and other livestock.
- Communication plan: A family communication strategy names someone outside the area to be the main contact point for all family members if you get separated or have trouble with phone networks.
