Hazard Preparedness
Create Defensible Space
Reduce the likelihood of your home igniting from a wildfire by creating defensible space. Clear flammable vegetation, trees, and debris within at least 30 feet (more on slopes) around structures, creating a buffer zone. Maintain this space regularly.
- Zone 1 (0-5 ft from house): Remove *all* flammable vegetation, use non-combustible mulch (gravel), clear debris from under decks, remove flammable items.
- Zone 2 (5-30 ft): Keep grass mowed short, prune lower tree branches (6-10 ft from ground), create space between shrubs and trees, remove dead vegetation.
- Zone 3 (30-100+ ft, depending on slope/vegetation): Thin trees, reduce density of vegetation, remove dead material.
Create a Flood Emergency Plan
Prepare your household for potential flooding by creating a specific emergency plan. Identify your flood risk, establish evacuation routes to higher ground, create a communication plan, and assemble necessary supplies.
- Determine your specific flood risk (check flood maps, know local flood history).
- Identify safe evacuation routes to higher ground.
- Establish a family communication plan (including out-of-area contact).
Create an Earthquake Preparedness Plan
Prepare your household for an earthquake by creating a specific plan. Identify safe spots in each room, establish meeting places (near and far), outline communication strategies, and share the plan with all members.
- Identify safe spots in each room (under sturdy tables/desks, against interior walls away from windows/heavy objects).
- Determine primary and secondary exit routes from your home.
- Establish safe meeting places: one near home, one outside the neighborhood.
