Chapter 1: CAL Fire Recommendations

What to wear?

• Long pants
• Long-sleeved shirt
• Goggles or sunglasses
• Dry bandana as a face covering (synthetic materials are NOT recommended).
• Heavy shoes or ideally boots

When should I evacuate?

As soon as evacuation is recommended by fire officials. Do not wait to be ordered. Delaying your evacuation can leave you trapped in congested traffic in dangerous areas and increase your risk.

• Radio
• Local News Channels
• Local SMS Alerts
