ZONE 1: The 30-foot area closest to your home should contain only low-growing plants such as annual flowers, succulents and well-tended lawns, providing less fuel for a potential wildfire.

ZONE 2: Between 30 and 100 feet from your home, stick to well-spaced trees and shrubs, and islands of vegetables surrounded by noncombustible materials.

ZONE 3: Beyond 100 feet, reduce fire fuel by thinning and pruning trees and other vegetation.

STEP 2: Update your emergency plan and supplies

Is your family ready for an emergency? With a simple plan and the right supplies, you’ll be able to act with confidence.

Here are a few of the essentials:

• Make sure you have a two week supply of shelf-stable food and water for all of the people and pets in your home.
• Gather a backup supply of essential medicine.
• Create an emergency kit with flashlights, fresh batteries, solar phone chargers, first aid, essential phone numbers and cash.
• Designate an emergency meeting location.
• Learn how to manually open your garage door.
