Fire Response

Wildfire evacuations can happen quickly. Be ready, be set, go! Level 1 Be Ready. Prepare, monitor, and pack your valuables. Level 2. Be Set. Be set to evacuate at a moments notice. Level 3. Go! Leave immediately. Your local law enforcement agency orders evacuations. If you don't feel safe, do not wait for an official evacuation order.

Know the difference. Evacuation Warning - potential threat to life/property. Leave now if you need additional time to evacuate or have pets or livestock. Evacuation Order - A lawful order to evacuate due to immediate threat to life/property. Cal OES

Donations

Cash Donations

Cash is the preferred donation so that funds can get directly to the evacuees to purchase things that they need. Donate to a trusted local nonprofit or go to the Fire Relief Fund at Silicon Valley Community Foundation who will distribute funds to local nonprofits to assist evacuees.
