While we've been fortunate to not have a significant brush fire in Los Angeles over the past few years, we know the reality of what our geography and weather patterns can bring. A wind-driven wildfire does not give you time to get ready, you need to BE ready before it ever hits.
With the recent tragedy in Maui, when a wildfire devastated the town of Lahaina, still fresh in the minds of Angelenos, it is perfect time to review how you can prepare, stay informed and find resources to help you.
The video covers a number of topics regarding preparation, evacuation and keeping informed. Links to resources to help you navigate each of those elements are provided below for you to learn more as you listen.
