Get Fired Up for Preparedness

Los Angeles is prone to many types of emergencies. In fact, the LAFD responds to a 9-1-1 call every 35 seconds. Major disasters - like a wind-driven wildfire - place immense strain on resources and emergency personnel.

Taking simple preparedness steps can help ensure your family's safety, and give firefighters a stronger chance of protecting your property when the next wildfire threatens your neighborhood.

Prepare at Home by: 

• Making an emergency plan 
• Building your disaster supply kit 
• Getting trained in life-saving skills like first aid and CPR 

Help Your Community Prepare by: 

• Clearing brush and potential fire hazards 
• Assist elderly neighbors with their preparedness efforts 
• Supporting our firefighters – Donations help the LAFD Foundation purchase essential tools and equipment, like hand tools
