As the cooler weather approaches and summer is behind us, this is a good time to plan and prepare for emergencies that could affect us here in the San Lorenzo Valley.

Please join us on Wednesday, November 30th and Wednesday, December 7th at 5:30 pm at the Highlands Park Senior & Community Center for a free informational session on how to prepare for wildfires, ways to maintain defensible space on your property and how to plan for evacuation in case of an emergency.

It is important that your have a plan for your family and home in the event of a wildfire. This program will give you some helpful recommendations on steps you can take now to make your home more fire resistant, as well as providing information on when and how to evacuate in the event of a disaster. We will share checklists and resources for assessing your property’s readiness during this event.

Representatives from CAL Fire and our local Fire Departments will be on hand to answer your questions.
