What to do
Set up local alerts and know two evacuation routes. Keep medications, documents, and animal carriers ready. Leave promptly when told and follow official guidance about smoke and returning.
Before the next alert
Save local emergency management contacts and share your plan with everyone in the household. Check what supplies, accessible transportation, and pet arrangements you would need if you had to leave.
