PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Follow all fire restrictions. You can find your county's

emergency sign up form as well as links to fire restrictions at

weather.gov/medford/wildfire. One less spark, one less wildfire.



Be sure you're signed up for your county's emergency alert

system. Familiarize yourself with your emergency plan and make

sure you listen to emergency services. Visit ready.gov/plan for

more information.



A Red Flag Warning is issued when we identify weather conditions

that promote rapid spread of fire which may become life-

threatening. This does not mean there is a fire. These conditions

are either occurring now or will begin soon. It is important to

have multiple ways to receive information from authorities.
