Wildfires - Be Prepared!

​​

• Alert and Warning Notifications:

• ​

Stay informed by opting to receive emergency alerts on your phone and follow any emergency instructions given. These alerts provide early warnings when conditions are dangerous or expected to become hazardous due to high temperatures, dry weather or strong winds. A handy app to have on your phone is Watch Duty, it's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that alerts you of nearby wildfires and firefighting efforts in real-time. Locations of active wildfires, evacuation zones, evacuation shelters, animal shelters, information centers, and food distribution points for evacuees can be viewed in the app. You can also subscribe to local emergency notifications at mil.wa.gov/alerts#local.
