Wildfires often occur with little notice, which can make preparation a challenge. If you live in a wildfire-prone area, it’s important to create a safety plan for the two-legged and four-legged members of your family. You may only have minimal advance notice about evacuations, so planning in advance could be the difference between a successful evacuation and leaving necessary items behind.
