Wildfires: protect yourself

You can improve the chances of surviving a wildfire by taking precautions, but these measures do not guarantee your safety.

Become familiar with your community’s wildfire management system. Every member of your family should know what to do if an evacuation notice is issued. Learn about disaster safety plans in your workplace and at your children’s school and/or childcare centre.

Create a family disaster safety plan. Assemble a disaster safety kit. Together, identify escape routes from your home and neighbourhood. Choose an emergency meeting place for the family. Be prepared!
