By Elliston Reyes, 02 Feb 17:57
Do you live in an area that has been threatened by wildfire? Have you ever wondered what to do in the event of a wildfire? Are you willing to spend a little time and energy preparing for a disaster that could strike at any time?
The American Red Cross has information that can help you prepare for the unfortunate event of a wildfire:
More and more people are making their homes in woodland settings in or near forests, rural areas, or remote mountain sites. There, homeowners enjoy the beauty of the environment but face the very real danger of wildfire.
Wildfires often begin unnoticed. They spread quickly, igniting brush, trees, and homes. Reduce your risk by preparing now before wildfire strikes.

* Teach children about fire safety. Keep matches out of their reach.
* Post fire emergency telephone numbers.
* Plan several escape routes away from your home by car and by foot.
* Talk to your neighbors about wildfire safety. Plan how the neighborhood could work together after a wildfire. Make a list of your neighbors' skills, such as medical or technical. Consider how you could help neighbors who have special needs, such as elderly or disabled persons. Make plans
