We are here to help clean up after a wildfire, but we also want you to be prepared as possible. The following are a few tips to help you prepare for wildfires:

• Make and frequently practice a family evacuation plan that includes meeting locations, a communication plan and pet accommodations.
• Use building and yard materials that will not burn easily.
• Keep an area up to 100 feet around your home lean, clean and green.
• Clean your roof, gutters and deck of dead leaves and pine needles often.
• Create an emergency bag of personal items you will need if you are asked to leave home.
• Leave your home when asked to do so.

Here is how you can do your part in helping combat Oregon’s wildfires:
