Fire Safety Tips

Resources that can help keep you safe.

With fires continuing across Southern California, ESSC's Enterprise and Risk Management collected these tips and resources:

The CAL FIRE website has updated information about the fires, evacuations, and more. Also watch for messages from your local emergency alert system.
Refer to this "Go-Bag" list if you need to prepare to evacuate. Remember to gather important documents and medications.
Find great evacuation information here.
Know your local evacuation route and plan where you will go if you have to evacuate. Make sure your car has enough gas.
Prepare for power outages. Gather flashlights and charge external battery sources.
Write down any phone numbers you'll need if your phone dies and you want to call someone from another phone.
NEVER touch downed electric lines.

Let's all support each other. Check in with neighbors, friends, loved ones and coworkers.

By staying informed, prepared and connected, we can help protect ourselves and our communities during the fires. Stay safe, everyone.
