Ready for Wildfire Season?

While the fires in Colorado are getting all the attention, fires are burning communities throughout the Western US. The Ash Creek fire burning through the Northern Cheyenne Reservation and in Rosebud County has destroyed 19 homes and is threatening scores more. Our hearts go out to all the people in the country who have suffered from evacuations and the terrible destruction. As the people in New Mexico's pueblos, California's bands and Arizona's reservations have learned, recovering from wildfires can take years.

As emergency preparedness consultants, we can't stress enough that the time to prepare for a wildfire is before it starts. The least you should do to prepare for any natural disaster is to get a kit, make a plan and be informed of current conditions.
