With a red flag warning in effect for at least the next 48 hours, it’s essential for residents to take proactive steps to prevent fires and ensure safety.🚩Clear Debris from Around Your Home: Remove dry leaves, branches, and other flammable materials at least 30 feet from structures. Dry debris can act as kindling, making it easier for embers to ignite nearby areas and spread to your home.🚩Secure Outdoor Items: Tie down or store items like patio umbrellas, lightweight furniture, and decorations. Strong winds during red flag conditions can turn these into hazards that damage property or obstruct emergency vehicles, and in some cases, may even spark or spread a fire if they come into contact with power lines.🚩Create Defensible Space: Trim tree branches and bushes, particularly those within 10 feet of your home and roof. By creating a defensible space, you reduce the chance of fire spreading directly to your home. This defensible space also provides a safe area for firefighters if they need to defend your home from approaching flames.🚩Limit Outdoor Equipment Use: Avoid mowing lawns, trimming bushes, or using any equipment that can spark (like chainsaws or grills) during high-wind conditions. Any spark could easily ignite a fire in dry, windy weather. If you must use this equipment, consider early morning hours when humidity is higher.🚩Stay Informed and Ready to Evacuate: Monitor local alerts, prepare an emergency kit, and be ready to leave if necessary. By staying informed and prepared, you can respond quickly if an evacuation is called, keeping yourself and your family safe from potential fire danger.These steps are simple but critical for minimizing fire risk and enhancing safety during a red flag warning.

As we navigate another wildfire season in California, we have observed an earlier onset of fire activity this year, raising concerns for our communities. The threat of wildfires is more pressing than ever, especially for homeowners residing in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Many residents are facing skyrocketing homeowner insurance costs, with some even losing their coverage entirely due to the heightened risks associated with our changing climate and fire behavior.Join SGVCOG staff, state, and regional wildfire experts on Monday, 11/4, from 5-6PM as they discuss preparing your home and neighborhood for wildfires through home hardening best practices and becoming a recognized Firewise USA community.We encourage you to explore Firewise USA and consider the benefits of becoming a Firewise community.
