Prepare your business for #wildfires by: 📝 Developing a response plan. 📑 Reviewing your insurance policies. 📳 Signing up for FEMA and local alerts. https://ready.gov/alerts More preparedness tips: https://sba.gov/prepare #BeReady
#NationalFireNews: As of today, July 18, the national #PreparednessLevel has increased to PL5. Significant wildland fire activity is now occurring in most geographic areas with a high potential for additional large wildland fires to emerge. National resources like hotshot crews, airtankers, smokejumpers and communications equipment, are heavily committed and the National Interagency Coordination Center is coordinating requests for these resources with geographic area coordination centers. Active geographic areas are intensively engaged in prioritization of incidents and reallocation of resources as needed to ensure effective incident operations. The National Multi-Agency Coordination Group establishes the level throughout the year. Their decision is dictated by fuel and weather conditions, fire activity, and fire suppression resource availability throughout the country. The five preparedness levels range from the lowest (1) to the highest (5).
