Last September, San Bernardino County faced the Line and Bridge Fire, which together forced more than 100,000 residents to evacuate and required thousands of first responders, county departments, and community partners to respond. From evacuating community members and pets to providing shelters and resources, these fires remind us that emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere and with no notice.
Preparedness starts with you. Having an emergency and evacuation plan, a go-bag ready, and staying informed can make all the difference when minutes matter.
