Today is the first day of #WildfirePreparednessWeek. Being ready for wildfire goes beyond our own homes. Community involvement can make all the difference if a wildfire strikes. readyforwildfire.org, cafiresafecouncil.org, nfpa.org or ready.gov/wildfires.

As we recognize #WildfirePreparednessWeek and advocate for preparedness in May, it's important to remember the state has experienced unprecedented wildfires over the past several years. #CAWildfireAwareness Learn more about how you can be ready here wp.me/pd8T7h-7fx
