The best way to get through a wildfire safely is to prepare for it before it happens. Put aside supplies, make plans with loved ones and think through arrangements for pets even if there’s no emergency immediately threatening you.
* Moist towelettes and other sanitation suppliesBring the kit with you if you evacuate, or keep a duplicate in your car.* With the other members of your household, agree on an emergency meeting location outside of the fire and hazard areas.* Pick a friend or relative who lives outside of the fire area to be a point of contact in case household members are separated and communication systems are down or overloaded.
* Make sure your pets and large animals, such as livestock and horses, factor into your evacuation plan.Emergency experts recommend thinking about “the six Ps” when considering what to prioritize if you need to evacuate.These should be your first priority. If your pets are on a leash or in a carrier or tank, emergency shelters in Los Angeles should let you bring them along.Passports, birth certificates, marriage licenses and other legal documents should come with you.
