occur in the area, be prepared to follow all instructions of fire  and law enforcement officials if an 

evacuation is ordered. Winds of the forecasted velocity can cause conditions to change rapidly, and the 

public is encouraged to review “Ready, Set, Go” procedures at www.ReadyForWildfire.org. Each person 

and family should insure that they are “Set” for a potential emergency situation and prepared to activate
