Prepared at Home: Spark Safety Not Wildfire

Are you prepared for a power outage during wildfire season? Whether an unexpected outage occurs from a wildfire or is a temporary action by your utility company to prevent wildfires, you may be impacted. Consider that an outage can impact lighting, heating, cooling, communication, food and medicine refrigeration, cooking and medical equipment. The American Red Cross provides important information to plan now for your needs and to stay safe.

Check with your utility on power safety shutoff programs and sign up for notifications through them. Renters may need to discuss this with their landlord to receive alerts. All should sign up for alerts from county emergency management. Preparation and prevention are both critical! #SparkSafetyNotWildfire
