Local Resources

Los Angeles County

Prepare & Be Aware

  • Monitor Fire Weather Conditions and Fire Status. Check your local fire department or emergency management websites and social media accounts for wildland fire information. Stay tuned to your TV or local radio stations for updates, including Red Flag Warnings in your area.

  • Stay Informed. Listen to the TV/radio broadcasts for current weather and emergency instructions. Sign up to receive local emergency alerts and warnings on both your home phone and cellphone.

  • Know Your Route. Know your community’s local evacuation plan. Plan ahead by practicing two ways out of your neighborhood. You should know the evacuation route and plan a place where you will go.

  • Set a Meeting Place. Make sure everyone in your family knows your meeting place ahead of time. Let your family and friends who do not live in your area know your meeting place.

  • Have Supplies. Keep your car fueled and keep an emergency supply bag in your car. Back your car into the garage or park it in an open space facing the direction of escape.

  • Be Ready. Remain close to your house, drink plenty of water, and ensure your household members and pets are accounted for and ready to leave.

Wildfire Evacuations

TIPS TO EVACUATE SAFELY

  • Don’t Wait. If you are told to evacuate, do so immediately. If you wait until the last minute, the roads may have heavy traffic. Blowing embers and debris from the fire may make it hard to see.

  • Notify Others. Alert household and neighbors that you are leaving. Once safe to do so, submit a message to your property manager via support@brickvine.com.

  • Dress in Appropriate Clothing (i.e., clothing made from natural fibers, such as cotton, and work boots). Have goggles and a dry bandana or particle mask handy.

  • Have Your Go Kit. Ensure your Go Kit includes all necessary items, such as a battery powered radio, spare batteries, emergency contact numbers, and drinking water.
