Resources & Links

Use this info to prepare ahead, respond quickly, and protect your family, pets, and home.

  • Track heat, lightning, and wind conditions.

  • Breathe easy. Know when itโ€™s time to stay inside or mask up.

    Tip: If air quality is poor (AQI >100), stay indoors, close windows, and run an air filter or DIY box fan.

  • Stay updated on nearby wildfires, evacuation zones, and fire bans.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative Check before you drive. Fires and smoke can shut down highways.

    Tip: Always have a backup route planned in case roads are closed during evacuation.

  • Include your animals in your go-plan.

    • Keep leashes, carriers, and pet food in your go-bag

    • ID tags and vaccination records should go in your PeaceBox
