“IF TRAPPED BY<\/p>\n
A WILDFIRE<\/p>\n
Wildfires move at incredible speeds and can change direction in an<\/p>\n
instant. If you’re trapped before you can safely evacuate, there are<\/p>\n
steps you can take to help your family survive<\/p>\n
Prepare to shelter-in-place. Most homes are exposed to a wildfire’s<\/p>\n
flame front for a short time, but those 10 or 15 minutes can be<\/p>\n
W<\/p>\n
terrifying. Loud noise, blinding smoke, and unbearable heat will<\/p>\n
trigger a natural urge to escape, but you must stay inside until the<\/p>\n
flame front passes. No matter how hot it gets inside, the air outside<\/p>\n
will be 4 to 5 times hotter.<\/p>\n
Leaving early. is<\/p>\n
the best way to<\/p>\n
Keep everyone together, away from windows and outside walls<\/p>\n
protect yourself<\/p>\n
Dress in thick, natural-fiber clothing. Wear long sleeves, long<\/p>\n
and your loved<\/p>\n
pants, goggles, a bandana or dust mask, and heavy boots to<\/p>\n
ones.<\/p>\n
protect skin from radiant heat burns<\/p>\n
Stay hydrated. Heat exhaustion and dehydration are serious<\/p>\n
threats during a wildfire<\/p>\n
Make sure exit routes are clear. Leave outside doors and<\/p>\n
windows closed and close bedroom and hallway doors inside<\/p>\n
the house<\/p>\n
