Pre-planning your evacuation allows you to make better decisions when faced
with a potential wildfire or evacuation order. Consider necessary items and those
irreplaceable things that should travel with you. The risk to farm animals and livestock can
be reduced by preparing and maintaining fuel-reduced areas where livestock can be
moved and held during a wildfire. To learn more on how you can protect your farm and acreage, visit our magazine by clicking here.
