Emergency evacuation tips
The Portola Valley Wildfire Preparedness Committee emphasizes the prioritization of the “5 P’s” in an emergency evacuation: people, pets, prescriptions, photos and papers.
The committee recommends each person and pet to have a go bag with any medication that the person or pet needs. Photos and important documents should be uploaded to the cloud. It also advises homeowners to photograph and take videos of everything in their home for insurance purposes. Most important heirlooms, photo albums, artwork should also be identified if there is time and space to pack them.
