Wildfire preparedness
Wildfires now burn hotter and faster, destroying millions of acres each year. Communities can vanish in hours, while smoke, outages, and evacuations threaten even those far from the flames. A solid plan and the right gear can turn chaos into control.
Safety & Survival
Staying safe during a wildfire means protecting yourself from heat, debris, and dangerous smoke. From first aid kits and survival systems to masks and goggles, having the right gear on hand helps you respond quickly, treat injuries, and safeguard your health when conditions turn hazardous.
Recommended gear
Wildfire smoke & air quality
Wildfire smoke can travel up to 1,000 miles and linger for days, making air hazardous even far from the flames. Elevated AQI levels can cause breathing problems, irritate eyes, and worsen heart and lung conditions—so monitor AQI during fire season and take steps to protect yourself.
Power & Communication
Staying connected is critical when power is cut—whether by wildfire damage or Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during high-risk conditions. Backup power, lighting, and emergency radios keep you informed and in touch.

Lion Energy Backup Power
Our portable power banks are a great short-term solution during a storm or brief outage. For longer emergencies, we recommend battery generators from Lion Energy: powerful enough to run lights, charge devices, and even keep appliances going when the grid stays down.
Evacuation Essentials
In many wildfire emergencies, you may have just minutes, or sometimes seconds, to react. Having a pre-packed emergency kit and a plan for evacuation is vital.
72-hour survival systems
Our survival systems are designed for the critical first 72 hours of an emergency. Each kit is packed with essential tools and color-coded instructions, organized for quick access when you need them most. Ready to grab and go, they’re built to support you in sudden evacuations or unpredictable situations of all kinds.
