Prepare for wildfires.
- Prepare for the wildfire smoke season [PDF-215 KB] as you would in any other summer.
- Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. COVID-19 vaccines help protect you from getting sick or severely ill with COVID-19 and may also help protect people around you.
- Give yourself more time than usual to prepare for wildfire events. Home delivery is the safest choice for buying disaster supplies; however, that may not be an option for everyone. If in-person shopping is your only option, take steps to protect your and others’ health when running essential errands.
- Talk with a healthcare provider. Plan how you will protect yourself against wildfire smoke.
- Stock up on medicines routinely taken. Store a 7 to 10-day supply of prescription medicines in a waterproof, childproof container to take with you if you evacuate.
- As part of your planning for a potential evacuation, consider developing a family disaster plan.
