Wildfire Safety

May is National Wildfire Awareness Month. The more you do to prepare your property and belongings, the more likely it, they, and you will survive.

There is an excellent article in Backwoods Home magazine with much good advice on how to prepare for a wildfire. The author tells you how to prepare your property, and also guides you through developing evacuation plans, not just one but several alternate plans.

The National Weather Service is also a good source of information.
