Emergency Supply Kit
While it is often not a priority until an emergency happens, you should put together your emergency supply kit long before a wildfire or other disaster occurs.
Keep it easily accessible so you can take it with you when you have to evacuate. Plan to be away from your home for an extended period, and each person should have a readily accessible emergency supply kit.
Ensure you plan with COVID-19 in mind.
