Quick Start Guide: Becoming Wildfire-Aware & Prepared
Take these essential first steps to protect your home and family from wildfire
Sign Up for Emergency Alerts
When there is an immediate threat to life and property, such as a wildfire, receive real-time evacuation and emergency notifications through Lookout Alert (https://www.jceca.org/lookout-alert-emergency-notifications)
Important: Evacuations are typically announced using Planning Unit names: your home is in the Doubleheader/Hillview Planning Unit (aka Doubleheader Ranch).
Download the Watch Duty App
This free app sends timely wildfire alerts, including evacuation status, road closures, air quality, etc. Free in your app store or visit: https://www.watchduty.org

Order a Reflective Address Sign
