Reduce your risk by preparing now — before wildfire strikes.

The wildfire season typically runs from May through October, but wildfires can occur at any time. These fires are usually triggered by lightning or accidents. They spread quickly, igniting brush, trees, and homes.
Give your household the best chance of surviving a wildfire by being ready to go and evacuating early. This includes going through pre-evacuation preparation steps (only if time allows) to increase your home’s defenses, as well as creating a Wildfire Action Plan for your family.
