In California, fire has become an expectation every year. However, this doesn’t mean we need to be victims or be helpless in the face of these events. Everyone can take a few simple measures to minimize or eliminate these disasters. Being prepared is the best first step to take. Here are a few preparedness steps you can take to help you to not be helpless.

1. Remove overgrown foliage and other combustible materials from around your house and property.
2. Have emergency supplies packed and ready when the time comes. Make sure that your emergency supplies contain a gallon of water per resident, food, and all needed medicines.
3. Have and maintain fire extinguishers in the home, especially in the kitchen, garage, vehicles, and detached structures.
4. Keep copies of all important documents in a safe and easily accessible location in case you need to leave.
