The Red Cross volunteers are ready to assist with a temporary evacuation point or sheltering operation if called upon by the borough.
The Red Cross suggests residents within the impacted area should take proper precautions for evacuation – especially if local authorities advise to do so.
A wildfire can spread quickly which can leave little time for preparation. Here are some tips from the Red Cross:Keep your pets confined into one room to allow for quicker evacuation.Avoid using anything with a flame, such as candles, fireplace, and gas stove. The American Red Cross also suggests getting a kit and making a plan. The emergency kit should include water, food, and enough basic supplies for each family member to last at least three days. It is important to include daily medications, important documents, and special items for children and pets.North Pole man enters Valdez Halibut Derby leaderboard with 151.6-pound halibut
