California wildfires, be prepared and survive!

By admin | September 1, 2009

After just completing several radio interviews about disaster preparedness in California, I was especially interested in the coverage of the wildfires last night and this morning.  These fires set up such a classic situation in which homeowners are forced to flee their homes on short notice, only to return to a completely unknown situation later.  I saw a video of a man on his mobile phone breaking the news to his wife that their house was destroyed…in fact that their whole block was destroyed.  These wildfires are unbelievably destructive. 

For any of you that live near these, immediately download our wildfire information sheet and work through the action steps listed. 

For those of you who are at risk of a wildfire emergency, but are safe from this wildfire, you should still get the Wildfire information sheet and begin the process of getting prepared.

Don’t forget to go by www.MyDisasterPlan.com and get your free emergency wallet card, everyone should have one of these in their wallet.

Make sure that you have a disaster kit, and a “go bag” in your home, and make sure that you have back-up copies of all of your important documents and information so that if your home is damaged or destroyed, you can re-create those documents and start to put your life back together.
