Ready, Set, Go! San Diego Fire-Rescue Department provides information on the instructions for wild land fires. No one knows when or where the next major wildfire will occur in our region. But it is a question of when -- not if -- it will happen. That's why San Diego Fire-Rescue has partnered with the International Association of Fire Chiefs to create the Ready, Set, Go! Wildland Fire Action Guide in English and in Spanish. We hope you will read the guide, and follow its advice. https://www.sandiego.gov/fire/safety/tips/readysetgo

Earthquake Preparedness

Earthquake Country Alliance (ECA) is a public-private-grassroots partnership of people, organizations, and regional alliances that work together to improve earthquake and tsunami preparedness, mitigation and resiliency. https://www.earthquakecountry.org

Every year approximately 500 earthquakes occur in the state of California that are large enough to be felt. San Diego County, in comparison to other southern California areas, has sparse seismicity. However, since 1984, earthquake activity in San Diego County has doubled over that of the preceding 50 years. We hope you will visit this webpage, and follow its advice. https://www.readysandiego.org/earthquake/

Mental Health Guide From Listos California & The Surgeon General

You already know to have a Go Bag packed if you need to evacuate. Now, take healthy steps for mental wellness with a First Aid Kit for Your Mind.

Even as the state’s economy recovers, jobs return and schools reopen, some Californians may not feel “back to normal” due to the lingering impact of chronic stress during the pandemic. Destructive events like a wildfire or earthquake can also trigger stress and worry, even after they're over.

To help Californians maintain mental well-being, recognize when they need mental health support, and help them receive guidance from diverse resources, Listos California has created a First Aid Kit for Your Mind.

The First Aid Kit for Your Mind offers simple, no-cost tools to assess signs of stress and learn what works to feel better. Recommendations include:

Connecting with family and friends for strength and solace
Exercise, healthy food, mental quietness and good sleep to build resilience
Reaching out for help to speed recovery
