Wildfire Preparedness for Families and Communities

Helping families in wildfire-risk areas prepare, plan, and stay safe during fire season.

Why Wildfire Preparedness Matters

Across California, wildfire season has become an increasingly serious threat to communities. Families living in high fire risk areas must be prepared with evacuation plans, emergency supplies, and clear safety strategies.

Uniform Families Foundation is committed to helping communities understand wildfire risks and take proactive steps to protect their homes and loved ones.

How Families Can Prepare

Every household should take time to prepare before wildfire season begins. Key steps include creating a family evacuation plan, preparing an emergency supply kit, staying informed about wildfire alerts, creating defensible space around the home, and preparing pets and important documents for evacuation.

Preparation Saves Lives.

Community Wildfire Preparedness Initiative

Uniform Families Foundation is launching a Community Wildfire Preparedness Initiative to help neighborhoods strengthen wildfire safety — preparedness workshops, evacuation planning resources, emergency preparedness guides, and community safety education. Our goal is to ensure that families have access to the information and tools they need before wildfire emergencies occur.

Resources

Families can begin preparing today with simple steps: build an emergency kit, create a family communication plan, know evacuation routes, and register for local emergency alerts.
