WILDFIRE — LEAVE NOW

Current instructions from local fire, police, emergency management, public health, and evacuation authorities override this guide.
This is a static guide. It does not know where the fire is, which roads are open, whether a shelter has space, or whether return is permitted.

1. If officials tell you to evacuate—or fire or smoke makes you feel unsafe—leave now. Do not stop to collect belongings or fight the fire.
2. Use the route officials name. Do not take shortcuts, cross a roadblock, or drive toward fire or downed power lines.
3. Only if they are close at hand, take people, medicines, medical or mobility equipment, phone and charger, identification, keys, and pets or service animals. Do not delay leaving.
4. If you cannot leave, call your local emergency number. Give your exact location and say if you need accessible transport, medical power, communication help, or animal support.
5. If it is safe and does not slow you down, tell one trusted person where you are going and who is with you.

Words you can use:
I am evacuating because of wildfire. I am at [location]. I need [transport, medical power, accessibility, language, or animal help]. Where should I go now?
