As winds start to pick up in our community, the weather conditions may cause fire to spread very rapidly. Now more than ever, it’s important to take steps to prepare yourself for a wildfire emergency.
Check out the new LAFD ‘Wildfire’ page on the LAFD website for tips on hardening your home, preparing for an evacuation order, and viewing safety videos on wildfire in the City of LA: https://lafd.org/wildfire.
During my recent Wildfire and Emergency Preparedness webinar series, my office created the Emergency Preparedness Procedures and Checklists. To receive the complete checklist, please call my office: Pacoima (818)485-0600 or Sylmar (818)756-8409.
