COMPLETE A HOME WILDFIRE HARDENING ASSESSMENT WITH THE CITY AND GET A FREE ROLLING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS BACKPACK
Malibu residents who complete a free Home Wildfire Hardening Assessment with the City of Malibu will receive a free rolling emergency preparedness backpack. The handy backpacks are a valuable addition to your “go kit” and can help you be better prepared to evacuate quickly in case of a wildfire or other disasters. They are only available while supplies last, so schedule your appointment now! The City’s Fire Safety Liaisons will conduct a 30-to-60-minute exterior inspection of your property looking at what can be done to make it less vulnerable to the millions of flying embers from a wind-driven wildfire, a leading cause of homes burning down in wildfires. You’ll get a checklist of steps to take, such as removing dead vegetation or wood furniture that is touching the house, to harden your property and make it more resilient to wildfire. For more information or to schedule a free Home Wildfire Hardening Assessment, visit www.MalibuCity.org/FireSafety or call 310-456-2489, ext. 238, or email FireSafety@MalibuCity.org.
