Be ready for wildfires with the right insurance and these emergency preparedness tips for wildfires!
Wildfires are a part of living in Southern California. With hot, dry weather, and lots of woodland brush, fires are bound to happen. You may think that your homeowners insurance gives you the coverage that you need in the event that a wildfire starts. However, in Southern California, you need additional wildfire coverage. Be sure to supplement your home insurance and check out these emergency preparedness tips for wildfires to protect you from fires.
Get Your Home Ready.
When it comes to any disaster, make sure that you know how to reduce your risk for damages. To prepare for an earthquake, you would secure any heavy furniture. To prepare for a wildfire, ensure that you get rid of any fuel for the fire. Be sure to keep a perimeter around your house so that there isn’t any brush too close to your home. Additionally, be sure to trim dead branches off your trees and shrubs. Plus, get rid of any debris in your gutters. When there’s less fuel for a fire, the better.
Make a Plan.
It’s important to have a plan so that you and your family know what to do if a wildfire threatens your home. Know where you’ll go if you need to be evacuated and determine how you’re going to get in touch with each other if you get separated. The better informed you are, the more prepared you’ll be.
Keep a Kit.
Ensure that you have an emergency pack ready to go with all the essentials. Keep water, non-perishable food, flashlights, extra batteries, important documents, extra cash, a first aid kit, medications and anything else you may need if you need to evacuate your home.
