As more people are building their homes in woodland settings, wildfires have become increasingly dangerous. In order to protect your family, home and property, it is important to prepare before a wildfire strikes.

Landslides and debris flows are caused by a number of factors, such as earthquakes, heavy rain, volcanic eruptions and poor land management. Because landslides and debris flows occur quickly and with little notice, it is essential to be prepared.

Earthquakes strike suddenly, violently and without warning, but identifying potential hazards and planning can reduce the threat of damage, injuries and loss of life.

Volcanic eruptions may be subtle or explosive and can produce dangerous lava flows, poisonous gases, and flying rocks and ash. Many volcanic eruptions are also accompanied by other natural hazards. If you live near a volcano, active or dormant, be prepared to act on short notice.
