Fire season has started and there is only one way off the mountain. Now is the time to get prepared to evacuate encase of an emergency. It is a good idea to prepare a portable kit and keep it in your car or to grab and go box that will be easily accessible for you and your family. Build an Emergency Evacuation Kit Including:
Water
Non-perishable food
Copies of prescription medications
Cell Phone chargers
Bedding including sleeping bags & pillows
Extra change of clothes
Bottled water
Battery operated radio
Extra batteries
Flashlight
First-aid kit
Copies of important documents( like your drivers license, SS card, proof of residency, insurance policies, wills, deeds, birth and marriage certificates, etc.)
Pre-pack non-replaceable, personal items that you can quickly move to a vehicle if you are instructed to evacuate.
Talk to your family, make a plan! Decide where to meet, where to stay, where you are going. If you have pets plan ahead for them as well and have prepared go bags for them. If you do not have a car, make a plan ahead of time…ask a friend or a neighbor ahead of time, if you can ride off the hill with them. If you have a car, keep 1/2 tank of gas in it at all times. If the power goes out, the stations may not be able to pump gas unless they have a generator and even then they may only be able to take cash payments. Remember, in case of an emergency the number one priority is safety first. Proper advanced preparations can ease the stress of evacuation and help you make sure all the necessities are not left behind or forgotten.
Four months after the roads washed out and there is only one way on and off the mountain. Many people have questions regarding how much more work is to be done on SR-74 and how much longer will it take to finish. A community meeting has been set for Thursday June 13 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. located at the Idyllwild School gym. The meeting will be hosted by Caltrans and partnered with Mountain Disaster Preparedness and we hope to be given a little more insight, questions answered and a better understanding regarding the finishing of this project.
May has given us more rain than usual and here in Pine Cove we even had a little snow yesterday. The new weather station has recorded almost 2 inches of of precipitation so far this month. For this weeks storm alone 1.42 inches have been measured. There is the possibility of snow this week according to several weather forecasts. It has been many years since we have have had snow in late May. A freeze could greatly impact many gardens that have been recently been planted.
