Reminder to prepare your ‘Go Bag’ ahead of fire season

As fire season approaches, don't wait for disaster to strike to get prepared. A Go Bag could make a big difference as you navigate an emergency.

Be sure that your bag has 72 hours’ worth of essential supplies that are personalized for the needs of you and your family. Plus, make sure your Go Bag is accessible when you are in the car, at home, work or school. Remember – a smaller, compact backpack is easier to carry with you during evacuations.
