San Diegans trust us to restore their wildfire damage!

Creating a wildfire escape plan is essential for ensuring your safety during the wildfire season. Wildfires can spread rapidly in San Diego County, leaving little time to react. Our San Diego City, South West team offers these tips for preparing an effective escape plan:

First, familiarize yourself with your community's evacuation routes and know multiple ways out of your neighborhood. Map these routes and practice them regularly. Ensure everyone in your household understands the plan and participates in drills.

Next, assemble an emergency kit with essentials such as water, non-perishable food, medications, important documents, and a first aid kit. Keep this kit easily accessible, and prepare one for each family member.

Designate a safe meeting place outside the fire-affected area where your family can reunite if separated. Also, identify an out-of-town contact who can help coordinate family communications.

If you have pets, include them in your plan. Make sure you have pet carriers and supplies ready for quick evacuation. Additionally, plan for the specific needs of family members with disabilities or medical conditions.

Stay informed by signing up for local emergency alerts. During a wildfire, keep your car's gas tank full, park facing the direction of escape, and always heed evacuation orders promptly. A well-prepared escape plan can save lives and reduce panic during a wildfire emergency.
