Hazard Preparedness
Avoid Overexertion
Prevent dangerous fatigue and poor decision-making in arctic conditions by conserving energy. Move at a steady pace, avoid sudden exertion, monitor your body’s signals, and take frequent rest breaks in sheltered locations.
- Pace yourself during physical activity; avoid sudden, intense exertion which rapidly depletes energy and increases sweating (leading to chill).
- Monitor your body for signs of fatigue, shivering, or excessive sweating; stop and rest *before* exhaustion sets in.
- Take frequent, short breaks in sheltered areas (behind snowdrifts, trees, or structures) to rest, hydrate, and check gear.
Build a Shelter
Protect yourself from the elements in a forest environment by learning to construct a temporary shelter. Choose a safe location and utilize natural materials like fallen branches, leaves, and bark to create insulation and cover.
- Prioritize shelter for protection from rain, wind, cold, and sun.
- Select a site: avoid hazards (widowmakers/dead branches, flash flood areas, insect nests), consider proximity to resources (water, firewood) but not too close to water risks.
- Utilize natural features: rock overhangs, dense evergreen stands, large fallen logs.
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.
