WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS RESOURCES

  • Get the App: CAL FIRE is encouraging Californians to access the “Ready for Wildfire” - a web-based app that includes local alerts, checklists for preparedness, evacuation plans, and other kits. To download the free Ready for Wildfire web-based app, visit https://plan.readyforwildfire.org/.
  • Sign-up for Text-Message Alerts: Simply enter your zip code and phone number and you’ll receive text message updates of any active wildfires near you - https://incidents.readyforwildfire.org.
  • Make an Evacuation Plan: Create a Wildfire Action Plan for your family and office. Being ready to go also means knowing when to evacuate and what to do if you become trapped. This CAL FIRE evacuation guide provides everything from checklists, evacuation steps, power outage info, animal evacuation and more - www.readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/go-evacuation-guide/.
  • Get Prepared: Firefighting alone cannot protect us. Californians have an important role in preventing wildfires by ensuring adequate defensible space around homes and buildings, making homes more fire resistant and having an emergency preparedness/escape plan. This is especially important since approximately 25% of the state’s population, or 11-million Californians, live in a high-risk fire zone. Thousands of communities depend on smart planning and prevention tools such as protective fuel breaks, defensible space around homes, and home hardening for their safety and survival. These tools work together to build more fire-resilient communities. Californians can learn more about all aspects of wildfire safety and preparedness at www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
  • Fire Insurance One-Sheets: With nearly 500,000 California homes worth a combined $268 billion under serious risk from wildfires, and the issue growing more acute with each passing year, insurance companies are ramping up prices or outright refusing to renew policies in fire-prone areas. Use these materials to keep your customers informed about how to protect their homes, keep their insurance coverage and find new coverage when necessary - www.car.org/marketing/clients/fireinsurance.
  • CA Disaster Resources: a list of government agencies, organizations and reference guides for preparing and responding to natural disasters in California -www.car.org/en/difference/realtorscare/cadisasterresources.
