Southern California is going to be in the news again for the next couple of months until it rains, as it's hot and dry, and fires are popping up everywhere... you know, it was a weird fluke last year that Malibu millionaires were in the fire zone


So, if you haven't yet, make plans to check your insurance, prep a bug out bag in case of emergency evacuations (one just happened today IN San Diego) have plenty of stuff for your pets comfort, feeding, and watering,
make sure your friends and family have a dozen ways to stay in touch without phone service, Facebook, text messages, etc. Make sure they know how to get ahold of YOU when they freak out because you've got a dead phone. Yes, this means reverting to the cave man days of the 1990s, and earlier, when we had to plan ahead, and know where to meet, and then have a back up
Make sure you have a spare hundred dollars cash, so when the power and internet is out, you can still pay for stuff.
Have bottles, like gallon bottles, of water in your car or truck. It all tastes the same, don't waste time on the 16 oz bottles. You're all grown up, grab a couple gallons. You'll thank me later.
Make sure you plan ahead.

  1. That is excellent advice. I don't think people understand how utterly dangerous it is to wait till the last minute to evacuate from a wild fire.
