The person I care for is not ambulatory, and the area in which we live is prone to wildfires. What precautions can I take to help protect us in the event of a fire?
Last Updated: January 16, 2008
Evacuation due to wildfires is a serious concern, and as a caregiver you have specific needs. Because you live in a wildfire-prone area, you must have a planned escape route. In the event that your first route is blocked, you should have a secondary or backup escape route planned. As is the case for all potential disasters, you should have a disaster evacuation kit packed and ready to go at all times.
