You may have to evacuate quickly due to a wildfire. Learn your evacuation routes, practice with household, pets and identify where you will go.

Have enough supplies for your household, including a first aid kit, in your go bag or car trunk. You may have to evacuate quickly, and won't be able to grab everything you might need if you haven't prepared in advance.

Keep your cell phone charged when wildfires could be in your area. Purchase backup charging devices to power electronics.
