Monday. In Southern California, high pressure will keep temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal across most of the region; but humidity will increase as moisture moves in from a low pressure currently off the Northern Baja Coast that will bring showers and thunderstorms starting Sunday evening and into Monday morning. CAL FIRE recommends that all residents be prepared for wildfire by remembering “Ready, Set, Go!” Before a wildfire strikes, it is important that you get “Set.” Prepare yourself and your home for the possibility of having to evacuate. There are three main actions that should be completed and familiar to all members of your household long in advance of a wildfire. First, create a Wildfire Action Plan that includes evacuation planning for your home, family and pets. Second, assemble an Emergency Supply Kit for each person in your household that includes water, non-perishable food, prescriptions, important paperwork, flashlights, and abattery powered radio. Lastly, fill-out a Family Communication Plan that includes important evacuation and contact information. To learn more about being prepared for wildfire visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
