Hey there Ginger.......I have been thinking about you. You may want to put together an evacuation box and make sure you have gasoline in your vehicles. The #1 reason I left my mountain village was the threat of fire. What made it worse was that the last time we were evacuated was because of an arsonist who threw flares out his car window as he was driving up the mountain. We can do some fire prevention by clearing the underbrush fuel bank but we cannot control the crazies. In addition to that arsonist, there was another one who had tried multiple times and finally got one started which killed five of our firemen.

And then there was the guy who set fires at all three exit roads from the village during the annual Jazz Festival. If you need any must-do lists to prepare I can direct you to the source in Idyllwild.

Be safe, free, and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris

@artscaping @artist01 We have our travel trailer packed, in position to be hooked up to go at a moment's notice [water tank has some, propane tank is full, cat carrier ready]. We have a list of what to pull from house, and they are ready. We have two ways out of town. We have decided which vehicles go. All year we are prepared. The trees and timber around here are pretty stressed.
