For wildfire, be Firewise by reducing your home's ignition potential. Assemble emergency supplies and belongings in a safe place. Create an Evacuation Plan with escape routes and make sure all those residing within the home know the plan of action. Taking the correct route during an evacuation is critical for your safety. Tune into information about where to go during an evacuation, see sources below. 

Level 2
Set – Situational Awareness.  Be set to evacuate at a moment’s notice. This level indicates significant danger in your area and voluntarily relocating to a shelter or family is advisable. This may be the only notice that you receive; emergency services cannot guarantee that they will be able to reach you again if the condition worsen. If you do decide to stay, pack your emergency items and be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.
 
Level 3
Go! – Act Early!  Leave immediately and follow your personal evacuation plan.  Do not delay leaving by gathering your belongings or make efforts to save your home. Danger in your areas is imminent and you should evacuate immediately. If you chose not to evacuate, emergency services many not be able to assist you. DO NOT plan to return to check on your house or animals until it's declared safe to do so.
