In addition, your Los Angeles City Fire Department has even more tips on how to your home prepared for wildfires:

• If you see smoke or fire in your area, immediately report it to 9-1-1
• Move combustible yard furniture away from the house or store it indoors
• Close all windows and doors to prevent sparks from blowing inside
• Keep a pair of comfortable shoes and a flashlight handy (for a nighttime evacuation)
• Keep the "Six Ps” handy, in case immediate evacuation is required:
  • People and pets
  • Papers, phone numbers, and important documents
  • Prescriptions, vitamins, and eyeglasses
  • Pictures and irreplaceable memorabilia
  • PCs (laptops, tablets, and/or smart phones)
  • Plastic (credit or debit cards) and cash
