Wildfire Emergency Preparedness Tips from PG&E
The Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance is partnering with PG&E to help communicate the importance of wildfire preparedness in our area. If you had to leave your home in 5 minutes, would you know what to take? Be proactive in protecting yourself and others – create a 5-minute plan to evacuate from fires. With a clear escape route, you can leave at a moment’s notice, keeping your loved ones safe from harm. Remember, waiting for official evacuation orders might be too late – act quickly when it feels unsafe. To ensure a smooth evacuation process:
- Establish a meeting place for your family.
- Prepare an emergency kit containing essentials like medication, important documents, clothes, food, and water.
- Stay updated with weather reports and Red Flag Warnings.
- If it’s time to leave, have your emergency bags packed and gather your family, including pets.
- Don’t delay; evacuate promptly.
Taking time now to prepare can help your family respond quickly and reduce stress when every minute matters. Prepared families respond faster and recover stronger.
