Whether you are remaining at home during an Evacuation Order or leaving immediately due to an Evacuation Alert, having essential supplies ready can make all the difference. #Wildfire #EmergencyPreparedness #WildfireSafety #NWTwildfires #BCWildfire

If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it.
