Road Closures, Area Restrictions and Travel Advisories for your safe journey
in our Northern Region Forests. Please check this area for new information.
The
National
Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) posts a new Situation
Report every day. This is a report that summarizes information
by area on current large fires, gives an outlook for the day, provides
the total number of fires and acreage burned, as well as the current
number of committed resources (personnel, equipment, etc.).
Weather,
Smoke, and Fire images are pulled several times a day from an
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite.
Be Informed. Planning what to do in advance is an
important part of being prepared.
Some of the things you can do to prepare for the
unexpected, such as making an emergency supply kit
and developing a family communications plan, are the
same for both a natural or man-made emergency. However,
there are important differences among natural disasters
that will impact the decisions you make and the actions
you take. Some natural disasters are easily predicted,
others happen without warning. Get a kit; Make a plan;
Be informed. Visit the natural disaster planning site
of the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
