Assemble an Emergency Supply Kit for each person, as recommended by the American Red Cross.
Maintain a list of emergency contact numbers posted near your phone and in your emergency supply kit.
Keep an extra Emergency Supply Kit in your car in case you cannot get to your home because of fire or other emergency.
Have a portable radio or scanner so you can stay updated on the fire.
Is Your House Prepared?

Replace or repair any loose or missing shingles or roof tiles to prevent ember penetration
Reduce embers that could pass through vents in the eaves by installing 1/8 inch metal mesh screening
